it's just that he's not into the Perl community and doesn't know certain things...
If you're not into the community, you're not into Perl. Part of what makes the CPAN work is that it's a two-way street, and to do that, you've got to be plugged in, and making contributions. It's not cool to simply be tapping the CPAN because it's there. You've got to be submitting bugs, and participating on the mailing lists, and know about monks, and so on.
