    Advogato has further discussion [advogato.org], including rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth responses by yours truly.

    • Shlomi appears to be kind of a whiner [advogato.org], who has lots of ideas [mpe.mpg.de] but produces little code. I remember, though, that he sent a large doc patch to P5P, that wasn't applied apparently.

    • chromatic,
      I am not able to reply to the discussion on Advogato, I was wondering if you could send this reply to the author.

      I have been using Perl for just over a year. I was a newbie not to long ago, and I am by no means a guru. I never felt that the resources at hand were lacking. If I could not locate or understand the answer to my problem in the Perl documentation or a book I asked my question in a Perl community.
