in thread ActiveState’s Perl Installer

Last I checked, they didn't write Perl. Activestate can do whatever they like legally with the Perl installer, but that doesn't mean that I should like it or think that it's a good idea. For me, them trying to turn something free that built their company into something that people think they have to pay for is a bad idea.

UPDATE:
I'm really glad that Larry didn't think that way.

UPDATE2:
Hmmm.... Don't remember writing "they did write perl", but they didn't write perl. Fixed it.

    Tsk Tsk Tsk a monk that says,

    Check out the Perl Timeline if you really want to get a feel for where Activestate fits into it.
