I have read that article before, and no I am not on an anti-perl kick or anything. I would like to know why perl is used to determine how easy it would be to replace with something that has a better shot at being installed on every box that someone might want to build apr on. For example, Cygwin does not come with Perl so that would throw a big wrench in the process of bulding apr as I would need to download and build perl first. > This is an open source project; please quit whining about > missing standard adherence.

Submitting patches that get ignored is no fun. Mo DeJong Red Hat Inc
