I concur completely!  It's depressing that such a prolific (and I  
would have thought respected... not so sure at the moment) perl  
developer as Brian would so quickly resort to such sophomoric  
behavior.  The name calling was completely uncalled for and I for one  
applaud Shlomi's efforts to try and improve the perl community.  I  
suspect Brian has either forgotten or just doesn't care what it's  
like to be a beginner.  This is after all an advocacy list and I  
would think we would want to discuss any improvements to any aspect  
of the perl community in an open and respectful way.
