You wrote a raytracer in perl and you yell at people who want to write a gif encoder in perl and you wrote a raytracer in perl and ... *head explodes*

=) No offense meant, I watched people for 5-6 years insist that perl should have a perl-only way to create a gif. And for 5-6 years I've told them "That is as stupid as writing a ray-tracer in perl, wrong tool, wrong job." Now I've got to come up with a better "stupid" than ray-tracer. Thanks a lot MJD!

Update: ++ to mjd below, I laughed when he called a guy in a forum a bozo after the guy argued about GIF's at the second PerlCon. =) Hopefully he knows I'm kidding...
