cpan you have to see

[Lyle]

It seems this guy is sticking up for himself following the regular LPM 
taunts. Shouldn't most of you now follow up with more nastiness, some 
insults in ASCII art, then when he gives anything back kick him from the 
list? As far as I've experienced, this is how you do things.

After all, only the cabal should be really be coding Perl. Anyone new to 
Perl should be an instant expert, or at the very least, bend over and 
hand the lube to the nearest cabeller.

Then later you should have some threads on why more new people aren't 
coming to Perl and this community, and how you can't really understand 
why they wouldn't.
