That's like a whole level extra of sad because it's not that someone was oblivious to list context in perl, but that they knew about it but didn't quite get it right.

Or, it was purposeful, and he liked how it left out the attributions to single line quotes or made a weird half-aside out of multi-line ones, and it's just another case of someone not realizing put some random content up under your own name can lead to problems. Also sad, but less unique.
