It's obvious from the responses so far that I am out of step with folks on this list. Never-the-less, it seems to me that if we want perl, CPAN, and open source to be considered seriously in a grown up world, anything representing these org's should be predictable and, I suppose, more boring. I guess I'll just have to recover from my little "panty wedge" and get on with my day.
