in thread why Perl5 will never die

Decency is subjective of course, but in addition to Cool Uses For Perl there is GitLab, github, SourceForge*, etc. And there's nothing to stop you putting apps on CPAN if you so wish.

I hate to disagree with someone who doesn't disagree with me but CUFP is for somewhat trivial awesomeness, is not organized, and is subject to anonymous griefers. SourceForge sold out its users TWICE by bundling malware with previously free software. GitHub sold out their users to... *gasp* ...Microsoft! GitLab will never survive the next move by corporate parasites to consolidate control of free software. Who would NOT sell a mere website for: THOUSANDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS? For-profit corporations offering things for "free", especially on the internet, have proven again and again that they can not be trusted. I do agree that CPAN is the proper place but it is more of a technical site than a consumer portal, and not as comprehensive as the old script archive suggests it planned to be...
