I think you're being ridiculous. What exactly are you scared of? That IBM wants to push Perl, and the community will get swallowed by a corporate giant? That certainly isn't going to happen; IBM uses Java for pretty much everything except for bioinformics and grid stuff. That's the reason you see so many Grid-related IBM perl articles. Since people here tend to post a link to almost every article on the internet that even slightly mentions Perl here, you get a bunch of links to this stuff.

I certainly don't see this as a problem. IBM developer works is a reputable site, and they sometimes have some interesting stuff. Its at least nothing to flip out about. I'm personally much more annoyed at seeing people constantly post links to use.perl.org articles everyday. Don't they realize that most of this site's readership also reads use.perl.org on a regular basis? If we have any kind of annoucments auto-reap filter, I think that any node in this section even mentioning use.perl.org should be reaped as a duplicate.
