in reply to How Many Languages are in Your .pl?

I use XML all the time via Perl. XML is definitely a language. Heck, XML is a also a metalanguage: I also use it to create new languages.

    and I guess that you could add all of the XML related technologies e.g. xslt, dtd, xpath. Also, anything that you can transform XML into.

      Yes, let's just hope no one comes up with XPERL: 

      <line>
  <function>
     <call>
       <print filehandle="STDOUT">Just another XPERL Hacker</print>
     </call>
  </function>
</line>

        Nah, that's too concise! The tag names are less than 80 character long! Maybe something like 
        <xperl:line-of-code>
  <xperl:function-definition>
     <xperl:function-call>
       <xperl:standard-library-input-output-print-to-filehandle 
xperl:filehandle="STDOUT">
Just another XPERL Hacker
</xperl:standard-library-input-output-print-to-filehandle>
     </xperl:function-call>
  </xperl:function-definition>
<xperl:line-of-code>
