This is old news but it may be new to rupzperl.

I have used Perl for as the scripting language for several pre-.NET ASP intranets, dozens of Windows Script Components, and several generators for VB/MTS/COM+ work. Yes, I will confess to having worked with VB. :(

Perl always served brilliantly in these roles. VB, VBScript, and JScript were often too anemic for many jobs. Writing Perl for Windows tasks seemed ticklishly subversive, too.

When the referenced article came out I was happy to see that there were developers at Microsoft (not necessarily MS itself) who were giving Perl its just due.
