Hi all,

First, a clarification: The LANGUAGE is seriously flawed.

  * One single namespace polluted with global functions.

  * Ridiculously similar functions:
      - sort, asort, ksort, usort, uasort, uksort, rsort, arsort
      - ereg, eregi
      - mysql_connect, mysql_pconnect
      - mysql_query, mysql_db_query

Need more be said? A google search turned up this posting by Nat
Torkington, co-author of the Perl Cookbook:

  And some fun on the opposite side of the matter:
