Excellent article. Why does there have to be a singular "Perl community" and Foundation for it? Usually we get schisms and "Thrice Reformed" vs "New Revelation" groups sprout over differences of opinion that rise to intolerable levels.
Very similar to the "why shouldn't a project be forked" question; i get the feeling that forks are frowned on more severely now than in the past; but I can't see why. Recall Xemacs and ecgs, among others? Forks work or they die without bothering anyone.
