I want to see people using Perl to glue things together creatively, not just technically but also socially.

The whole intent of Perl 5's module system was to encourage the growth of Perl culture rather than the Perl core.

...Then you start building things like the Berlin wall to keep people inside your community. In anthropological terms, that's tribalism. A tribal Perl programmer might say, "If you leave the Perl tribe to go and join the Python tribe, we will hunt you down, cook you, and eat you." Or if you join the Ruby tribe, you will explode. By and large, I am not in favor of tribalism. Except for my tribe, of course.
