Hardly. Perl runs on MS servers. You can even hear some praise for Perl coming from some sections of Microsoft (much of the .NET CLR was tested using a Perl framework, IIRC). As for bookmarking, much of this is internal URLs that change whenever Hotmail bleeding well feel like it.
But I still doubt it's written in Perl.

I know Perl runs on Windows, and have even used it there some, but you don't seriously think that a MS development team would choose to use Perl instead of their in-house tools for a public service like Hotmail, do you? They certainly wouldn't run CGI for a site with that much traffic, which was the thing in the URLs that made the OP think it was perl.
