Can perl change the world? I thought it did alreaddy :-)

But for your notes:
1: I'm no expert in embedding perl on handhelds, phones etc, i only use it embedded in Apache. It's verry succesfull there.
2: Yes there are, however not fully matured. I also wonder if there should be.
3: I think so.
4: Yes, we use it for our program called evaluation, but i doubt if anyone does completely rely on perl (or any language
5: Agreed: he! did i mention perl can even fly a plane and is totally ai capable? ;-)
