I've heard people tell the same story, that perl folks are... rude. Actually, I've pretty much heard (and noticed) that about linux, too. Yet, linux is still a good operating environment, so is perl. You'll find rude people everywhere you look. While it may be true that there is a higher percentage of hard-core tech folks who might lack social skills, at least they don't err.. well, maybe they do.. byte. :-) Seriously, it is one of the problems facing perl (and linux) people ARE turned away by the attitude. It is rather embarassing/unflattering when someone is critical of your work. I see a lot of ideas about things should be "made easier" but I think thats the wrong course. We really just need to be nicer to new folks.
