This line of argument misses the point. What I dislike is two competing ways to write the same thing, the other which is not even used but still isn't removed. I used this to illustrate the fact that Perl is backwards compatible to a fault.

yes perl maintains backwards compatibility and many ways to do the same thing.
for some people this is a problem
for other people this is part of the great power of perl and why they love to use it.
but in any case, this shouldn't be news to anyone.
