  It occurs to me that my previous comment appears to be blaming Paul for what we did.

Amazing how easily even the best of us can be messed over by implicit assumptions, eh :) - fortunately as I noted above, this ones now corrected and we're having what will hopefully be a very productive discussion via email.

      The best way to raise awareness in the perl community would IMO have been to s
