Well, if it's any consolation, I once recently wrote a set of data analysis scripts in Perl -- because Java wasn't an option, nor was Python or any other of the usual suspects. The deployment environment was an old Sun Solaris box that did have an old JVM (1.1), but I needed the scripts to process a lot of text, so I decided to go with Perl. -- JM Ibanez Senior Software Engineer Orange & Bronze Software Labs, Ltd.
