I choose perl _BECAUSE_ it was antiquated then; awk, sed and perl had stood the test of time.
Community? Perl was built by those with need for those with need; I hear a corporation "owns" Java... and as for the creater of .NET, I like to think I own my [car, telephone, computer] .

It seems to me that a lot of people new to mod_perl and to Perl have

And this is during a period when popular opinion (amongst those who know

I'm delighted that new people are joining.
My question is, what prompted you? What made you choose Perl above
Java/.Net/Python/Ruby etc etc
Do you have experience of those languages? What appeals to you about
Perl? And how do you find your community experience/support compared to
the other languages you know?
