Yes. The wit of the root node of this thread comes from the fact that it is clear that it isnt an anti-perl thread when you read it and step back for a moment to see what I was saying. We have a hard time understanding why people dont like perl (because its so damn cool). However, I am in a unique position to shed light on at least one situation. Imagine in the future, this particular admin moves on, and to a new company. Imagine they do their development in perl. For some reason he resents upgrading and adding modules. He resents giving them shells. Imagine a monk works at that site, comes here and complains about how unfair that is.

This is why. This thread. I called it like it is, and a lot of people missed the idea.
