I've never seen nearly as much disagreement among 'Perl experts' regarding
regexes as I've seen among 'XML experts' regarding namespaces, even
fundamentals.
Of course beginners are confused - even on the best of days, that's normal.
I'm a lot more disturbed to see that the experts disagree as well.
Does that matter? You seem to say no, I say yes.
Watch carefully over the next year or so to see what happens, I guess.
Now if only I was getting paid for all of these hours...
