I'm certainly no expert in the subject, however, it seems that I've noticed something quite different in Perl programmers than other programmers (that reference of course meaning someone who chooses to program in Perl consistently out of sheer love, worship, etc...., not just a typical general programmer who happens to know Perl), that difference being mainly a strong independent streak, and an un-willingness to follow the leader just because the rules say so. So, placing code-posting regulations on a Perl Monks site, seems to be a bit of a contradiction in logic; we're the renegades dam it, right? ;)
