in thread Perl is sinking (TIOBE): all time low for Perl

This thread in general, and your post in particular with its 10 references, have probably increased the Google ranking of this obscure and unimportant site way up. Even though (I think) most of the references have been negative.

It's that old cliche coming true again: any publicity is good publicity.


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

      I've updated my node title to reflect this "*****", like BrowserUk runrig etc. perhaps others who have posted in this node should do the same.
