I still cannot make sense of this. Picking just one set of errors:

Code not contained in explicit package at line 12, column 5. Violates 
+encapsulation.
Quotes used with an empty string at line 12, column 24. See page 53 of
+ PBP.
Code not contained in explicit package at line 12, column 33. Violates
+ encapsulation.
Magic punctuation variable used at line 12, column 39. See page 79 of 
+PBP.
Code not contained in explicit package at line 12, column 47. Violates
+ encapsulation.
Code not contained in explicit package at line 12, column 58. Violates
+ encapsulation.

Line 12 is blank!

I knew I wouldn't like it, but I at least expected to have to justify my arguments. But this?

This is just another example of the PC madness, like http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/north_yorkshire/6296637.stm and many, many other examples that is gripping our world and turning it into a mirthless, freedomless place of bland, grey uniformity.

Thanks theDamian. You've gone from being the wild child of Perl, envied and awed by the many; to being the pillar of salt that the PHBs will forever use to enforce mediocrity, uniformity and the lowest common denominator upon the once hip and innovative and freedom loving world of Perl. Like the reformed smoker, or the born again religious, when you converted, you made sure that the PHBs will enforce your will upon the rest of us too.

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

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

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

"Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."

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).
