I dont think Larry was involved. I think it was Activestate alone. But im hardly an authority on the subject, this is just the gist of my recollections. --- demerphq	[reply]

Seems it was a correct assumption. It also seem likely, given that his link was to information on an MS site. It was also an assumption that played the odds given the proponderence of computer users that are Win32 users. That's somewhat dampened by the use of Perl I admit, but it would be interesting to know (were it possible to), how the relative proportions (Win32 to non-Win32) of systems running Perl scripts on a regular basis?
