You are spreading FUD!!!!!

As soon as O'Reilly GPL'ed that stuff it doesn't mean that O'Reilly has control of Perl, it means that the Perl community has control of material that O'Reilly paid to write. And O'Reilly as a corportation CANT add anything to the perl core. That is done by Larry Wall and the Pumpkings. And you know what, if you dont like it, go ahead fork perl. Theres nothing anybody can do to stop you. The only thing is you won't be able to call it 'perl'.

You are so totally fully of shit that it is not funny. And if you do what you say you are going to do it will be the loss of your local library, and noone else. You claim to be an open source advocate but you are repeating lies and misinformation about how open source works. Its just ridiculous.

And your last sentence just shows your true colors. You dont care about perl at all. You are some kind of PHP troll trying to use misleading arguments and FUD and outright lies to achieve some kind of misguided anti-perl crusade. Well thats fine but take it up elsewhere.
