in thread Perl in the Enterprise

If you want to rant on something that shouldn't be used for control systems, pick on the OS, like the virus prone Microsoft Windows.

Control systems don't typically have an OS. Sometimes they don't even use a microcontroller, just dedicated hardware. When they do use a microcontroller, Ada is typically used directly on the hardware.

The author proposed replacing Ada with Perl on submarine control systems; as I've said before, it's an inappropriate choice.
