Geesh! so you don't believ in OpenSource power, huh? That doesn't sound like a perl monk to me. Do you believe you're mooching off perl developers? I didn't realize I wasn't allowed to point out an interesting article to the Perlmonks without being repsponsible for the article. The most interesting points Bill makes include his commentary on the "small" OpenSource community that's "being used for some single applications and web servers". Agree with him if you will, but certainly you can come up with some better defense than "Bill-bashing".
