Why a C shell?by perigeeV (Hermit) |

perigeeV has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Just curious really: Why does Perl fire off a C shell for such business as globbing, backticks, system(), etc.? I would think a Bourne shell would be more portable. Since I use korn, bourne, and BASH, I confess ignorance about C shell. Useless trivia probably, but the monastery always surprises me. Thanks,
