Just the typical article... i.e. some "guru's" giving their own biased opinion or stating something too general to have any value. I would like to see some cold, hard facts on the scripting universe!

I do like the following quote though (yes I am biased too)

"Of all the scripting languages, Perl offers the biggest installed base of applications, of code, of integrated systems, of skilled programmers. It has the lowest defect rate of any open-source software product. It is ported to essentially every hardware architecture and operating systems, from embedded control systems to mainframes. It is optimized for speed, for memory footprint, for programmer productivity. It has readily-accessible libraries for all types of programming tasks: Web application development, systems and network integration and management, end-user application development, middleware programming, REST and service-oriented architecture programming. Perl is ideal for the organization that takes charge of its own IT future." (taken from the above mentioned article)
