Re^2: Enterprise Perl

As one who has worked for IBM, yes, you can call, but I doubt they'll fix your problem in the next 3 releases ... or even listen to you if you are too small. Open source developers will. But again, this is a marketing/business issue, with little technical backing ... what can you do. The business types keep their jobs when they spend money. Open source is "too easy" and makes them somewhat obsolete!

Open source developers will That depends on the company and the open source developer. I've had some really excellent support responses from Sun and Oracle over the years. I've had open source developers being far too busy to fix the minor problems :-)	[reply]
