Okay, maybe you're right ... Where I come from almost everyone knows some (enough) Python whereas Perl is much more old-school coolness. But granted I don't come from all places. But I still think I'm right, don't people say for example LAMP - Linux Apache MySQL Perl, nowadays Python, mostly? Isn't it much more in use? And "My" is a Swedish name, not an English possessive pronoun, and SQL is pronounced "seekwell" :) Okay, my school isn't old school but it is getting there ... -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
