SO you think "HA!" is worth a post, eh? Well, whoever you are, I've taught THOUSANDS of Perl students, and not ONE of them has ever come back to me saying that ANY employer has ever disapproved of their code. And I teach OOP Perl, DBI, DB_File, and other way advanced Perl stuff like IO::Socket. Most of the people on this site would not PASS my intro Perl class. You heard me.

And I can tell you that the so-called Perl "community" is largely responsible, alas, for the increasing popularity of Python. Perl is a WONDERFUL language but the Perl community has an adolescent mindset.

And my credentials speak for themselves. I did kernel level stuff in C at the Stanford Research Institute in the 1980s. Perhaps you were in diapers then, yes??

You got anything except "ha!"???

How about "Pompous Windbag"?

The fact that you assisted a cardiac surgeon 30 years ago hardly establishes your credentials as a neurologist. And considering IO::Socket as "way advanced" technology certainly doesn't help your case.
