No worries, because unfortunately there is a lot of bad perl.  I think
its because the language is very loose.  Developers left in a perl
environment have the freedom to do what ever they want.  Sadly, many
people when let loose of the artificial controls and hinderinces and
having no inner order of their own do not typically do well...I wax
philisophic though.
