Re: Re: Re: new XML module

My gripe, Juerd, is that I that when I see childish responses such as these:

I too am excited , I can't believe grantm's selfishness (CPAN is not a crap factory).

Man oh man am I excited, so much so that I am going to write to grantm, and tell everybody I know to avoid his CPAN directory.

can any fool add his own favourite Foo::Bar::Broken?

Have you seen my latest module? **mocking code**

that I very much wanted to never bother coming back here, as this kind of thing happens all the time. Its not like grantm is an stupid beginnier, his XML::Simple module seems to be quite popular. Even if he was, he most certainly did not deserve to be treated as such. I never said that you weren't allowed to voice complaints on his actions, but perhaps it could have been voiced a little better?

That was a related question, but "any fool" is not an alias for grantm, and "Foo::Bar::Broken" is not an alias for XML::Simpler. I'm ashamed one of my favourite sites lacks even the simplest layer of quality control.

That was supposed to be a joke. Just like XML::Simpler, it turned out to be a bad one. It is however a good example of code that does exactly what is documented, and I couldn't have written my reply without this visualisation.

I quite like XML::Simple. I hate XML::Simpler, though (mostly because of it's serious-looking name).

As for crazyinsomniac's reaction, of course I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I'd like to add that I was about to write something similar - that's what people do when they're very upset.
