I don't have links handy, but there were official blog posts and such about how they endeavored to fix the problem. Of course I'm not saying it was universal, nor trying to take away from the fact that there are a lot of great people in the Perl community (PerlMonks is a good example)

They did fix it, as far as I can tell anyway, but it was too little too late.
