In your journal, you mention a DBI book offer. I think you have a lot of good knowledge, but you often seem confused on basic concepts like the one above. I do not think you are ready to write that book. Maybe it is just luck that I happen to know what __PACKAGE__ is for, but you have already encountered it and did not notice. Why do you pose as an expert when you miss things like this?

In your debates with chromatic, you repeatedly misunderstand the points of the argument in question and you have called vroom an asshole. You've compared Perlmonks to a religious cult. How can I take you seriously? When you can convince me that you are worth listening to, I will listen.
