Re^4: Attack on Perl or Perl's need better PR (again)

Just wanted to point out that even though I agree that there are probably very very very few (or none) unixen that ship today with perl4 as the standard perl, there are lots of them that have in the past. And while it's easy for us to tell someone who uses an old unix box to upgrade, it's not always easy for them to do so.

duff

Once there is a reasonably secure and robust webmin, someone should build a multi-architecture PAR distribution for the platforms where it is needed. This will save the admins from needing to upgrade perl. -- Oh Lord, won’t you burn me a Knoppix CD ? My friends all rate Windows, I must disagree.
