I'm not so sure you should blame O'Reilly. perl.com isn't O'Reilly's domain - it belongs to Tom Christiansen, and he used it as his personal, perl-related, website before he let O'Reilly use perl.com. However, Tom got to use language.perl.com to store (parts) of the original perl.com website, including PPT, a project started by Tom. If you now go to language.perl.com, it still says "by Tom Christiansen".
