    The fact that he's arguing with Randal is not the problem, Randal makes
    mistakes too. The fact that he's arguing what the Perl interpreter does
    without looking at the source code is the problem. The fact that he's
    arguing that way to Randal is just icing on the cake, right up there
    with the David Korn / Microsoft story almost. Almost; Randal is Just
    Another Perl Hacker, he didn't write the code in question.
