Re^2: Released: File::pushd

you've increased the community confusion by introducing a new module just to fix a problem with an old module. {sigh}

by your reasoning, we should also have one language, since now we have confusion of the right tool to use. we should also drive the same cars and what not. it's competition and evolution. bad/old/wrong things die out, good/new/right things live on. tmtowtdi

save {sigh} us {sigh} your {sigh} emotional {sigh} distress. you would think that someone who would be considered a teacher would be a little more patient with others much less the entire community.

While some would consider responding to Anonymous Monk akin to responding to a known troll, I would assure you that I'm not fighting a non-existent boogeyman here. I have clients that say "Why do we have implementations X, Y, and Z of a given problem?" and therefore I know that marketplace confusion does exist when things get forked. Do not try to reduce this argument through taking it to an extreme. If there's a fork, it should be justified. The justifications were shown, so I'm happy, and moving on. You should do the same. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

that's not confusion. that's ignorance. you weigh the pros and cons for systems, components and whatever. after all, why do we have perl4, 5 and soon 6? all these different versions are sooooo confusing. there are actual benefits to using one system over another? afraid to admit you are even in the least bit hasty, or you are the least bit wrong, yet ready to place blame and point fingers. your reply just confirms a guilty mind	[reply]
