You seem uncertain. I can assure you it is true.

Lets look at
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=42462
He made a bug report about your code not supporting older compilers
(admittedly not phrased well), and provided a small patch. Let's
look at your very first reply:
what a bunch of bullshit claims, the code is of course fully ANSI-C
compliant, get a good book about C, or read the standards document.
and tone down your tone before you make such idiotic claims, you'll
only make yourself look like an idiot.
Straight off the bat, rude and attacking the *person*.
But I am more concerned with your initial response to this hash thread.
You got a message showing that a recent change to blead had caused some of
the tests in one of your modules to fail. Your response was a complete
rant. You made no attempt to enquire about the background to the changes,
you just charged in and accused everyone of being completely wrong, then
ranted about how we spend all our time breaking everything in perl. So, I
would repeat, "The lack of respect you show for the work others have done
for you to use, freely is staggering."

But you immediately rush to the lowest possible, most combative level, at
every available opportunity. As I have shown above.

Ah, after one post, already questioning my integrity.
I am familiar with your postings to p5p over the years. I think you are
wrong.

I will continue providing a quality perl interpreter for an enormous
number of perl users despite what what you think of it.
