Looks like he doesn't do that these days, and the reason appears to be that the Perl community have, oddly enough, failed to lash at him for his opinions.

That's about the size of things. I tucked this comment away that came up in a thread on reddit. (Which in turn I probably learnt about from a thread from Perlmonks in the first place):

"As I've done for a great many other programming languages, I've bashed on Perl's technical weaknesses at length in the past. To my continued amazement, the Perl folks are the only ones who never get upset. They just say "Haha, yeah, boy, you're right, it sure is ugly. Heh. Yeah, so, um, anyway, I'm going to get back to work now..." It's awesome. I've gained so much respect for them. It's almost enough to make me go back to programming in Perl."
