I'm pretty sure that Eric Raymond is not fully aware of
test-first-development and Test::More and proper module packaging of
Perl.  Otherwise, he wouldn't keep spouting his "Perl sucks for big
projects" mantra.

Perl's object model is complete.  Perl scales well to large projects.
That Eric Raymond was unable to get it to scale is more telling about
Eric than about Perl.

I say this even though I consider Eric at least a strong acquaintence,
having met him on quite a few occasions.  Eric is doing a disservice
to the Perl community though, and on that, I cannot let stand.
