  Me three!  Not csh, but perl.  I absolutely cannot stand it.  The
bloat, the slowness, the unreadability, the Script Kiddies gung-ho
"let's rewrite the whole world in Perl" attitude, the "put
double colons in it and it magically becomes object oriented and is
somehow better" concept, and have I mentioned bloat?

  Argh.  I'm glad to see that there are others out there who haven't
been taken in by Perl's marketing evangelists.
