You make an excellent point. I want to thank you for the link to the article as well.
I'm in the proccess of reading it right now and wanted to let you know that I am finding it enlightening.

I think I am misplacing my appreciation for Perl with advocacy. This is the first time I can recall that I've ever "advocated" Perl with or without bias.
I feel very fortunate to have gotten your reply.

Many Thanks
