You know. The first thing that came to mind is that the "Powers That be" need to listen to the video presentation that Merlyn gave (Merlyn on "Reducing Business Risk Using Perl"). Perfect thing to explain that Perl can be an asset to the business, not a risk. Did they say that it was an open and shut case? They made up their minds that Perl is out? Looks like you have a job to convince them otherwise. Contact Merlyn through his site to see if you can get it on tape so they're not stuck watching it on a tiny screen. :)
