Perl supports to the Cult of Mediocrity (so does Visual Basic, and many
others). It allows a minimally-competent programmer to write code, without
thought to the community in general. In sort, perl allows you to be both
*lazy AND rude.* The problem with the Cult of Mediocracy is that it places
higher value on getting *anything* to work, rather than stopping to think if
it *should* work.
