I will not enter into this "My OS is better than your OS" senseless and childish debate with you. It has no place in the now heterogeneous and highly eclectic perl community. The porters have spoken very clearly that this anti-Win32 bias, though obviously present in some members, is not the norm among the members of this forum: and I do believe them. Therefore, don't pretend to defend them by representing your personal, infinitessimally trivial biases as those of the perl5-porters group.
