Hmm.  Perhaps it was his EMPHASIZING points that were wrong
which got my goat.  I guess I am very sensitive to
capitalized words. :-(

Also I have seen more than my share of anti-Perl FUD from
supporters of languges that see themselves as competing
with Perl.  (Languages like Python.)  That leaves me a little
sensitive. :-(

Apologies if I misread the situation.  But I read it
through several times, and each time found myself reacting
at the same place.

Cheers,
Ben
