in reply to The State of the Onion 9

Slashdot 'discussion' is at
http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/09/22/2251257&tid=145&tid=156

and i really think there should be some kind of "perl PR departement", because everytime perl comes up on slashdot, it's just the usual 'perl is dead! use python/ruby/PHP' replies, and even though all of those languages have their merit (well - exept PHP, maybe :-), perl gets way more than its deserved share of of flaming.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    I bet TPF could find a place for anyone willing to help with Perl PR. Do you know anyone with the time and the desire?

    Isn't slashcode being written in perl it's own PR?

    ... because everytime perl comes up on slashdot, it's just the usual 'perl is dead! use python/ruby/PHP' replies ...

    Every time X comes up on Slashdot, it's just the usual "X is dead! use Y/Z/W" replies.

    No big deal.
