I'm not entirely sure if you fully grok the concept of the Windows Scripting Host.

The idea is that when any program uses the WSH for it's scripting, any WSH compatible language can be used. Take dIRC, a simple IRC client which uses the WSH. You can use any language to program it, even ones released after the program was released. People can chose to code in whatever language the like, be it from ObjectRexx to TCL.

You say that PerlScript's more dangerous than JavaScript, but I doubt that this is true, especially considering that both will be given the same permissions. PerlScript only runs with the permissions it's given, and obviously those permisions are different based on whether it's through Internet Explorer, through ASP, or through something entirely seperate.

And PerlScript is _much_ closer to Perl than Javascript will ever be to Java.
