Yeah like all of those PHP forums and apps like Jinzora. Those are all
totally useless...

Ever tried to make your own templates for PHPbb, or modify an existing
one? And then tried to update?

Why do you think that altering Perl to make it more attractive to the
ignorant and lazy will be an improvement?
Huh? Do you even understand what he's asking for? How is it "attractive
to the ignorant and lazy" to want to have Perl easily available when
writing a web page?!? Oh sure you can use CGI but then everything has to
be handled by Perl. And no I've never seen a poorly architected and
poorly maintainable web page written with Perl and CGI - and neither
have you! Give me a frigging break...

Yup, I have seen a lot of Perl CGI, and in the beginning I thought I had
seen the worse code in my life. Until I looked at PHP "programs". Just
read the user comments at php.net for several functions and you might get
my point (but this being Usenet, I guess not).
