Fair point, apologies.

Having read the note, I see "completely broken" means "has a weird edge case that may not work right in certain not-so-common environments, but works great 95% of the time". That it has a bug is a useful, if not entirely surprising relevation (it is, after all, software). But the statement made in the journal, that "FindBin is utterly broken", seems to be crying wolf.
