To make clear: I do not hate perl, I'm not very familiar with it (I prefer awk, when parsing and Pascal or C for others). Perl is not a bad language, but when using all this nifty things like automatic creation of components of objects and things like this, is it just inread-able for me, and I won't get much more familiar with it, as long the pure usage in ugly systems like old suse-versions brings you to the point, where the docu say: Someone compiled perl somewhere else and installed it here and therefor you can't yust install the module you want. (For such dead-points I left windows). I do do not have anything against interpreters in gerneral, I do use awk extremly often for example. But with interpreted parts in the base of an OS I just have un ungood feeling. Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R. Link
