As for the insult you missed. It is hidden in this sentence about why the people who run the site might not want to implement his proposal:

Perhaps this type of information should not be shown to the general public, lest their secrets of ?hard work? sound more like the qualities of a Perl programmer.
The virtues of a Perl programmer, as documented at the very end of perl, are Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris. In other words the accusation is that the people running this site are afraid that if we knew what they really did we would realize that they don't do much (Laziness), are unwilling to take the time to address our concerns (Impatience), and are rather arrogant about it all (Hubris).
