No I'm not looking at just any scripting language built into C# - I actually consider Perl to be much more than just scripting language :)

Damn I can do so crazy (in good sense) things in Perl that I could only dream off in say C++ (or code half a day to accomplish those 5 minute things).

The thing that I plan to work more on is GUI (desktop apps) programming with Perl as I'm now mostly into web programming. The reason for sticking to just web programming is partly that user needs to go through hassle of installing Perl (on Windows boxes) just to run my application.

Yes I know about PAR and other similar solutions - but having .NET IL code would be somewhat more secure than shipping your source...
