Because that's the way people behave and, any personal obervations to the contrary, the perl community is made up of people. It's just a religious fight, the same way that the browser fights, editor fights, religious fights (real ones--there is life outside of computers), economic fights, philosophic fights, or sports team fights.

It's just people, for better or worse.

    Yes, I know that it is part of human nature, but it is also a question of the discrepancy(did I spell the word right!). Look at If Perl was my first language... most perl hackers don't just answer "there is no need to look elsewhere you have to only skill you need, perl...".
