Just out of curiosity, is there a reason intrd was written in Perl?

Perl wouldn't be my first choice for intrd's implementation language,
but it wouldn't be my last, either.
I am going to put my $0.02 here as well.
I have written (and continue to write) a lot of perl over the years
(probably several hundred KLOC), and for some tasks it can't be beat.
HOWEVER, I would really, really have preferred to see PSARC discourage
or even disallow the use of perl for "core platform technology". (This
goes for Python, Tcl, and some of the other scripting languages that
abound these days.)
I don't think ARC is the place to do this. It isn't really architecture
but more implementation. The C-Teams for the various consolidations
together with the OpenSolaris communities that represent the
consolidations can create such rules if they wish.
