That I would remotely think that this list would let me touch anything in CORE perl would be living in a fantasy land. This group can't even handle my verbal input -- as as soon as I asked if they'd accept patches, they stopped throwing back the "submit a patch line"... It's pretty obvious that even a patch would have a hard time with the current closed-court cabal. > Not only are we actively trying to have a leaner core, something you should > know given you've followed the list for quite some time, but also your code > is horrendous in just about any way I can imagine (and some that I > couldn't).

Did I say I **wanted** it there? *Being willing*, on the provision that I'd have to give it more work, and predicating it on reviews (and updating it to my local current level), is FAR different from **wanting**. It would be alot of work -- just getting on CPAN was alot of work. > but the sense of > entitlement that begot your suggestion that we all should adapt to your > workflow inappropriate, off-putting and offensive. --- By no means... I simply thought most of the people at the level I *thought* you were, to be able substitute their own favorite print thing. P is alot shorter for me to type. Having dealt with end users (both professionally and otherwise), having to deal with a 1 letter abbreviation for print would have been among the least important issues and not worth of mention (as many here have done). A vocal few have indicated problems, but most ignore it and focus on the problem. Those that can't, well, you call my attitude entitlement? Hardly -- I'm not even allowed input into the *** that comes out as 'perl' (like the perl 5.18 that breaks most perl progs on my computer) and requires source modifications of every module just to get it back into production. You drop things like that on people and tell them "too bad, it's what we decided, and you have no input!", isn't way beyond entitlement -- into the prima dona stratosphere?... I'm just trying to be like you! ;-) (that was humor...) --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: rejected https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=120047Thread Previous | Thread Next
