That is true. I was the Google Appliances admin for USDA for a while, and with Guido working at Google, they were actively moving away from Perl. They still hire Perl developers who are interested in switching to Python.
I had root temporarily on the Appliances for a brief time and found a few scripts in Perl, but most were Python. Interestingly, the internal database was a custom version of MySQL. Lots of Java on the Search Engine end, as well as the web interfaces, but there was some Python and Perl scripts that do cleanup, analysis, reporting, resets, etc. Paul Millard On 9/13/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Send kc mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/kc > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of kc digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
