You want to take away their control, Perl is whatever the interp folks says it is
Larry's stack machine architecture never turned out any good, and they've been forced to live with it and defend it
You are a for profit business trying to embrace extend and extinguish their Perl
Many P5P who spent decades with the Perl source code do not want all their work and knowledge they learned to have been in vain
C#, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Java have multiple compilers/interpreters, Perl does not, thats makes Perl special

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
