in that vein you should also mention matt's scripts. evil code but
they helped perl gain massive numbers of users. many were kiddies but
some actually learned perl.
Yes. I'm well aware of the effects of Matt's scripts. In fact I think I
may have already mentioned that in this very discussion.
you did but i didn't see that before i posted. the number of posts
about matt's crap on usenet was enormous. it took the community way
too long to rewrite them in clean safe code.
I know quite a lot about that too. I drove that initiative :-)
that archive is now also forgotten as no one seems to mention them
in the age of modern perl and such.
