[rescue] flamewar question: Perl

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

Hrmmm...I think perl kicks much ass(second only to the collective of
girls, beer and guns).  :)  I find it incredibly useful, moreso than the
bits of php and python that I know.  Especially now since it's on all Sun
boxen by default.

Now where did I put my girl...<stumbles off>
