• curprev 03:2603:26, 23 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 47,142 bytes −201 rv again, this link has no connection to anything in the tect and irrelevant to the language undo
• curprev 00:0400:04, 23 May 2006 -Barry- talk contribs 47,343 bytes +201 →Con: Bad community support is relevant, especially to the Con section, but the link is about more than that. You KNOW this very well, and so does everyone else. undo

22 May 2006

• curprev 18:4118:41, 22 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 47,142 bytes −6 →Comparative performance: grammar fix undo
• curprev 18:3918:39, 22 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 47,148 bytes +528 →Comparative performance: This section in its new form can be quite informative if we forget about the numbers and discuss the issues. I added Perl's inability to save byte code. etc. undo
• curprev 16:2116:21, 22 May 2006 Harmil talk contribs 46,620 bytes −154 →Control structures: Reduced rambling and opinion about switch and goto to just the facts. undo
• curprev 15:0915:09, 22 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 46,774 bytes −201 rv - Shlomi's discussion is with his struggle with the community of Perl. The link has little relevance to the language itself and certainly isn't related to the section in which its found. undo
• curprev 07:3407:34, 22 May 2006 -Barry- talk contribs 46,975 bytes +201 →Con: Scarpia: if you had a reason for removing the related link, say what it was. undo

21 May 2006

• curprev 22:3622:36, 21 May 2006 -Barry- talk contribs 46,774 bytes +11 →Comparative performance: Gentoo too undo
• curprev 21:5621:56, 21 May 2006 Harmil talk contribs 46,763 bytes −1,770 →Benchmarks: -Barry- asked that we wait a bit before replacing this section for the sake of the RFC, so I have. I've seen no negative comments on this verison to date, so restoring it. undo
• curprev 06:2506:25, 21 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 48,533 bytes −1,382 rv - removing unverifiable IRC discussion. It's irrelevant what a single person says, even if he is a famous author. The commerce of Perl is irrelevant to the language itself. undo
• curprev 06:0006:00, 21 May 2006 -Barry- talk contribs 49,915 bytes −14 →Opinion: Using the IRC archive links I originally used. Whoever changed them to less specific links, make sure the links work if you change them again. undo
• curprev 05:5405:54, 21 May 2006 -Barry- talk contribs 49,929 bytes +1,195 OSCON organizers hostile to Perl GOTTA fit in. I feel less strongly about TIOBE (though I think it clearly belongs). Explaned in Talk. Make into a "minor curiosity" entry like Imroy says if necessary. undo
• curprev 03:0903:09, 21 May 2006 -Barry- talk contribs 48,734 bytes +201 →Con: Link was removed because it wasn't working. It works now. I don't like the extra attention it beings to "con" so lets try finding a good link for "pro" to balance things. There must be one. undo
• curprev 02:0002:00, 21 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 48,533 bytes −21 rv - it's unclear what the slide in question means since it's a two word summary of something said in the talk. This doesn't pass the verifiability test, and is irrelevant anyway. undo
• curprev 01:4401:44, 21 May 2006 -Barry- talk contribs 48,554 bytes +21 →General: The "Sux" comment referred to the particular Perl module, not to benchmarks. I mentioned the module comment & the general benchmark comment separately, not using the quote "Sux" undo
• curprev 01:3601:36, 21 May 2006 -Barry- talk contribs 48,533 bytes +13 →General: Saying benchmarks suck and warning about their limitations are two different things. The "Sux" quote shouldn't have been removed. But I just fixed Scarpia's grammar and clarified things undo

20 May 2006

• curprev 01:0101:01, 20 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 48,520 bytes +126 Attribute remarks to the right place. This section is rather sloppy, though, and can probably be removed or simply reference general benchmarking info elsewhere. undo

19 May 2006

• curprev 14:1414:14, 19 May 2006 Hex talk contribs 48,394 bytes −1,168 →Con: Removing weasel words and unverifiable paraphrased IRC comments. undo
• curprev 10:4910:49, 19 May 2006 -Barry- talk contribs 49,562 bytes +3 →Con: Randal's article says he's co-author of Perl books. When not specifying Perl books, you can say "author." undo

• curprev 19:5819:58, 18 May 2006 Harmil talk contribs 49,558 bytes −1,109 →Con: I've tried to clean this up a bit, removing the external links with alt text embeded (see WP:MOS-L) and removed argumentative statements where possible undo
• curprev 19:4819:48, 18 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 50,667 bytes +1 Updated module and author count for the latest reported on www.cpan.org. I noticed many other numbers out of date, and it's probably not very useful to spend time updated them every two weeks. :) undo
• curprev 19:4319:43, 18 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 50,666 bytes +385 Edits without linebreaks now. Explained Tiobe non-results and removed link to drunken rant, as noted earlier. undo
• curprev 19:4119:41, 18 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 50,281 bytes −384 reverting self to remove line breaks added by my editor undo
• curprev 19:3519:35, 18 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 50,665 bytes −208 Removed link. The author notes in his essay that he had been drinking while writing it, and makes many outlandish and unverifiable claims about Perl and persoanl attacks on author Larry Wall undo
• curprev 19:2419:24, 18 May 2006 Scarpia talk contribs 50,873 bytes +592 Explained Tiobe Software's bias in the TCPI, and the danger of statistics. This section should be removed since it is unverifiable. Tiobe hasn't published the raw data, only their conclusions. undo
• curprev 17:2117:21, 18 May 2006 Harmil talk contribs m 50,281 bytes −49 →Pro: If we're going to use the cquotes in the con section, then it's best to use them here too undo
• curprev 16:1716:17, 18 May 2006 Pudgenet talk contribs 50,330 bytes −145 →Related links: This link is useless. It doesn't say anything interesting, and the attribution here misrpresents the author, who is not a Perl 6 developer undo

• curprev 15:0715:07, 18 May 2006 Pudgenet talk contribs 50,468 bytes −230 →Con: Remove unattributed, unsubtantiatable claims; study does not actually show Perl's popularity has declined: the claim is false; and if you cannot spell Randal's name shouldn't be editing here undo
• curprev 14:5914:59, 18 May 2006 Pudgenet talk contribs 50,698 bytes −178 →Related links: Remove nonworking link, that -- given the author of page linked to -- is likely insane anyway undo
• curprev 14:5414:54, 18 May 2006 Pudgenet talk contribs 50,876 bytes −143 →General: Revert vandalism undo
