There's really no way to fix this and still keep Perl pathologically eclectic.

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

By all but the pathologically romantic, it is now recognized that this is not the age of the small man.

To Perl, or not to Perl, that is the kvetching.

...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.
