Perl? Isn't that Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister? Why would 
anyone want use perl besides the fact that it's very portable, it's fast,
it's practical, it has bindings for ton of software and is very, very well 
documented indeed? The problem with perl is that it's free and management 
doesn't like that geekish freware stuff. They much prefere shelling out
few grands ("10g") to a tool vendor. An explanation why is that so can
be found at http://www.dilbert.com.

> architecture, and argues that PERL is a particularly useful
