Downvoted due to being Just Plain Wrong.

What evidence do you have that this is *the* issue preventing people from installing perl on Windows? My experience is in fact that that is a non-issue. What evidence do you have that this same non-issue is the reason that C, Python, Scheme, Fortran and Intercal are not commonly used for "internet apps". Please explain how this does not contradict the fact that major "internet apps" like exim, apache, bind, openssh and INN are all written in C and mailman in Python.
