Hi there.

I admit I voted your node down, John, because I don't really see how it pertains to Perl itself.

A lot of your writings seem based mainly on conjectures to me, and I really don't agree with the "zealot" type advocacy of All Things Perl. The way I see it, Perl is a tool to be learned and then implemented as seen fit, but I really don't think anyone should be "evangelizing" something that at the end of the day is a Programming Language, albeit a very handy one.

I think you'll do a lot better in this community John if you tone it down a bit. I have looked through most of your posts, and I have a feeling people downvote you because of this fanatacism towards Perl. My advice (if you want to accept advice from a Scribe that is) would be to concentrate on the application of your beloved language in everyday scenarios, as opposed to waxing lyrical about its beauty to you.

Feel free to vote me down on this one folks, but i'm tired of seeing posts downvoted and not seeing any explanations.

Thanks and Best Regards,
