I don't accept the premise that it ever was the first choice, and I
say that as someone who likes Perl and writes it nearly every day.

I think you should ask a better question, one that more precisely
covers what exactly it is that you want to know. Looking back at
most of your recent posts to this list I'd give that same advice in
response to many of them, I'm afraid.

Cheers,
Andy
