I say that like someone posted some perl on Perl Monks that makes PHP look like a fabulous option and no one else had pointed it out; an implicit approval which is credibility issue. I almost rewrote it just because it does bother me that much. I don't post my own garbage code here and if I did I would expect exactly the kind of the feedback I gave. I didn't appreciate the strict approach as a n00b but over time I learned to because it's a part of why I make a good living slinging Perl. The place insists on professionalism to everyone's benefit and while off-topic and dangerous shortcuts are often entertained, and should be, they are rarely let pass without comment.
