Re: Attack on Perl or Perl's need better PR (again)

Do we need to rally the troops for an NMS style replacement for Webmin? This might answer the immediate question of what the Perl community is doing about it.

It is sad, despite the efforts of Tim O'Reilly and others, that Perl has been getting a bad press. This is despite that Perl underpins many key Internet players - Amazon, Yahoo, and others. It is a fact that as a community, we are lightweight on the PR side; many of us do not perceive that as a problem.

The replacement for webmin already exists, if people would care to look. There's IMC that looks like being a worthy successor. It even allows you to use existing Webmin plugins. • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply]

Do we need to rally the troops for an NMS style replacement for Webmin? This might answer the immediate question of what the Perl community is doing about it. The situation is somewhat different I guess, because Webmin is still actively maintained and evolves regularly. Perhaps we'd better convince the webmin developers to build a new-generation product instead.	[reply]
