Actually, I think you're right.
On the one hand, it's quite nice that there are so many librariries
which can be compiled in (CURL, dbm, gettext ....). I think that's
nice, because having this kind of support in a binary C library makes it
rather fast.
BUT: It's not as easy to install if you don't have full access to the
server.
With Perl on the other hand, you basicaly just download MP3::Info from
CPAN and can easily download and install it. It's a lot easier since
there's (most of the time) no binary compile needed. (Uhm - MP3::Info,
hmm, bad example *G*).
