Perl is a standard tool in most operating systems, which also provide a compiler and a decent shell for free. Those people running operating systems that don't supply a decent set of development tools can easily download it from official sources. And like Kai said, it's on the README. Perl is not out-of-the-blue, it's not a recent language and it's not AT ALL obscure. I might accept those arguments for Ruby and *maybe* for Python. No, for Perl we don't accept it. Just install it. ActivePerl is good. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
