Yeah, you did. Quite frankly, I have been lurking on this list for years - first through the web then as an actual subscriber as I currently try to find time in my schedule to contribute a module that I finally believe to be worthy of adding to CPAN. I have seen a multitude of posts from you, Shlomi, and the vast majority of them have been of the them of "I don¹t like the way you are doing it, because it's not the way *I* would do it, but I really don't have a better way of doing it myself to contribute." Nobody likes a know-it-all. Worse yet, nobody likes a know-it-all without the who doesn't have the credentials to back up their b.s. In this particular case, pretty much everyone clearly understood that what was given was a GENERIC EXAMPLE, not real code. It didn't call for code review, comment or criticism on the use of variables or their naming. What was requested was feedback on the naming of the MODULE. There is probably a reason why your suggestions are ignored, for everything from "improving the perl.org site" to "redesigning the perl training documentation" to ridiculous commentary like this. Dig deep and you can probably figure it out.
