This is true as long as you do not have problems with Perl. As soon as you start having too many problems with Perl, you want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Think missing modules. Think ActiveState. Think corporate environment. Think other platforms. Think having to mix compilers. Or to support another one, because you cannot mix. Etc. etc. Ciao, Dscho - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
