Tradition.  Perl was first created when the only way for mass 
communication was the Usenet newsgroups.  Mailing lists are the closest 
thing to a newsgroup these days.  Many people don't realize that the Web 
runs on top of the Internet and you can communicate without it.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

The secret to great software:  Fail early & often.

Eliminate software piracy:  use only FLOSS.
