I dont understand why people were up in arms about the age of the thread. The topic of the thread was relevant. I simply continued the thread. Making a new thread seems pointless to me.

It is fallacy :)

Practically every node on perlmonks is perl related, that doesn't mean every single node is a good place to report perl bugs, even if you limit reporting them as replies to Larry Walls :)

I've seen a dozen 1st time posters, reply to 10 year old node with a question on the same topic, asking someone who who hasn't logged in 10 years for help -- off topic posts like this get overlooked

I believe the reason for the response to your node are
part reflex action to type of posts described above
part slow day
mostly rude demanding tone and attempt to shame Juerd into action

We're humans , we respond to courtesy, and we strive for civility here at PerlMonks :) and as I used to say as a child you're not the boss of me!
