Why don't you just join the Strawberry Perl project?

That's a reasonable question. Of course the answer is that I prefer to reinvent all possible wheels!

Seriously, the answer is that I gave contributing to it a "test attempt" at one point not that long ago. I found that the part of Adam Kennedy's brain that takes care of the functions of listening to others with more than 1/4 of his "attention and expected intellectual processing capacity", is broken or absent. AdamK also otherwise sets an example of being a complete wanker as an IRC/Internet personality, too. That kind of negative example is part of the problem in the larger Perl culture/community, and I don't want to have any greater a part in that negativity than I have to. If I can, I want to contribute solutions – or at least viable alternatives – from here on out.

So the short answer was "I'm not going to 'join' Strawberry because of interpersonal conflict with the project lead", which, given some of your own past (very public) assessments of Intrepid, jeffa, you won't perhaps be particularly surprised to hear ;-/.

Regards!,
