Exactly, MS aint stupid. Perl on Windows via ActiveState is stable and relatively straightforward and of course powerful. Perl aint going nowhere. The need for a "scripting language" will never go away. Large applications will always need "bridge" programs etc. Additionally, many companies are recognizing the power/code reuse/better code documentation aspects of using OO Perl.

Of course they will try to push their tech, but Perl is active and working Now. Like it was when IIS first came out and that miserable server took a bite out of the market when PERL was ported to windows ! I took a quick look at powershell and it turned my stomach. maybe I am an old dog unable to learn new tricks like python and such, but powershell I really did not like, maybe given enough time... _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs This email is intended for the recipient only.
