Perl's algorithms in this area are governed by ideologues ...... The conversation was terminated at that point as the question was not answerable with a simple yes/no. Link?

To see evidence of ideological behavior, you can google for the perl unicode release bug and see alot of people upset by it, but I thought this article was especially good: The unstoppable Perl Release train...
Showing ideological behavior not just in relation to perl's unicode problems, but also release scheduling...
There are MANY examples of ideological (irrational) behavior -- I've found the most logical group seems to be those who work with the parser -- probably, statistically, due to the type of brain that can deal with parsers...;-)
