I agree with the point you're making here. Part of the problem, IMHO,
stems from the fact that it's perl-win32 and not perl-win32-porters.
Someone else pointed out yesterday that perl-win32 is for any perl
questions related to perl on win32.
Maybe we should just create ntperl-advocacy, alias it to /dev/null,
and move on?
