You were failing to grasp because THAT NEVER HAPPENED. Here is what i
originally stated:

"Get one thing straight -- if YOU don't like us whining, then stop
whining about us whining. Remember, we don't need Perl 6. Perl 6 needs
us."

Mr. Barker "Step right up! Step right up! Get yer Dr. Fangled's New
Fangled Remedy Cure! Guaranteed to cure your ailment!"

Customer: "Um, does it work with my existing body?"

Mr. Barker: "No. You will need a new body first! Isn't that great
though? Your old body was tired and couldn't do proper OO anways!"

Customer: "Eh, I'll just stick with my original body then. I can
download a cure from CPAN in the meantime."

Mr. Barker: "SOD OFF, HITLER!"
