And so is learn.perl.org, and if there were complaints to learn.perl.org, they could have been addressed there. No need to waste time duplicating effort. Note that I will also argue the reciprocal. Once Ovid's comments are addressed (I had similar notes when I skimmed the site), there's no reason that learn.perl.org shouldn't point at perlmeme.org as well. But at this point, I won't argue that, because Shlomi should probably spend a bit more time reading good Perl before promoting a site about learning Perl. I could recommend a good book, but it'd be feeding the trolls. :) -- Randal L.
