Just looked in the wrong place... (Score:1)

Look then at python.org and ruby-lang.org.
And thus look at perl.org [perl.org] as well.
While I see how one could get a biased view from a dot-com site, checking out the dot-org site clearly shows a lot more neutrality.

  But, perl.com plainly states on it that it is the "Source for Perl". Why would anyone go anywhere else but the "source"? I would wager 95% of people looking for something look at .com before .org or .net (let alone .tv, .info, etc...) So, if I see this place is the "source for Perl", why would I go looking at the .org? After finding this "source for Perl" I could see how people could assume Perl is an ORA product of some sort.

    I'm sure it added to the impression that Perl was an ORA product when Larry Wall was an employee of ORA.
    
    This is no longer the case, but once impressions are made they are only changed with strong motivation.
    
    Performing a search on Google for "Perl", guess what comes up first? You guessed it, Perl.com: The Source for Perl -- perl development, perl ... [perl.com].
