Was that the year the Mustang came out? GD&R... ;)

Actually I've got a situation where I would love to be able to compile a perl app. I'm writing a program that I want to put it on a box at work for our accountant, and I really don't see a reason to take up her disk space with Perl since we ran out of HD space on her last PC ( don't ask, the accounting program was written in compiled basic the last time I checked...) so the possibility of doing a small compiled app is intriguing.

That said, as far as programs being used and maintained by programmers, I wholeheartly agree with you in that respect.

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.
