'proven' means just what it means when i said it - to determine the
truth of a statement.  there are plenty of people who claim to be
Perl programmers or trainers who don't use or teach Perl.  some
of them even write books about Perl.

you gone too far towards the corporate side of things.  i wasn't
using buzzwords.  i was speaking English.
