It saddens me to see the 'luminaries' of the Perl world angry and embittered. I know that this comes from many different people working together. The first thing you learn in kindergarten is not everyone is your friend, and you won't always get along with everyone. But that is a matter better left to those in dispute, and not aired in public.

Merlyn, if you feel slighted for business reasons, then by all means approach Tim O'Reilly and talk to him. You should be credited for work you did. People in general should be credited for work they do, period. But this expose of personality conflicts should be left behind here.

IMHO, Perl is the community, the contributors to CPAN, the members here, and people who visit #IRC, and the Usenet subscribers. Let's focus on their wealth of knowledge, and general goodwill.

That benefits us all.
