Tom has contributed to p5p and Perl 5 for years. I think you may be mischaracterizing the person when you ought to focus on the argument instead.

You say he has contributed to p5p and Perl 5 for years, but the quote,

Perl really is a write-only language, and you just can't do production work write-only -

is just a dumb statement. If he is willing to paint Perl as just a write-only language you cannot really be suprised that someone is painting him as a j***a** whatever his contributions...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
