I'm a pretty good perl hacker. I often refer to perl as my Swiss army knife. However, using perl on the scale Cfengine is designed to handle would be difficult. Having to keep a collection of perl modules, and dependencies, all at the correct version across dissimilar UNIX platforms, some of which are years behind, would be difficult. One of the nice things about Cfengine is that it is mostly self contained with few dependencies.
Having said that there is nothing stopping one from using perl, or any other language, along side Cfengine. Cfengine specifically allows for external language agnostic modules. Sincerely, -- Neil Watson 416-673-3465
