Indeed, I thought about that! The shell. Side note, many guys say they only use sh because bash, zsh etc requires them being installed, I don't see how that can be problem on Unix systems. Of course, zsh can't be moved to a computer without zsh itself, but how is that less portable just because they add super-cryptic syntax to do fancy stuff? I mean, it isn't the features we port, but the shell? Maybe you guys know the answer to that, never understood it and heard it from several guys. > Be that as it may I don't see much of a reason for learning > Perl today unless you're a die-hard hobbyist with near > infinite amount of time and an undying penchant for > obsolete technology.
