perlmeditation trwww <p>Hello,</p> <p>Over at "<a href="http://blog.vipul.net/2008/08/24/redhat-perl-what-a-tragedy/">Redhat perl. What a tragedy.</a>" there is a perl programmer complaining how a bug in the RedHat provided perl made their code run slower than expected.</p> <p>I say it is his fault he had this problem because he did not use a <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~rgarcia/perl/INSTALL#Site-wide_Policy_settings">build policy</a>. I think the system's perl belongs to the system and you should not be doing stuff like installing non packaged perl modules and running your production application with it.</p> <p>True, RedHat has a bug in their app. But I think the developer owns more of the responsibility than the blog post leads people to believe. What do you think?</p> <p>trwww</p>
