- Why is this person continually annoying people with information about perl ???
-
- Please excuse my ignorance but is perl a shell ????? is this not
- comp.unix.shell ?? I may be wrong but *who* want to be pestered with
- perl tidbits ?? I don't, if I did I would join a perl newsgroup ??
-
- I work on Pyramid, SCO, AT&T 3B2, Ultrix, Sun and I have not seen perl
- on any of these machines, now these companies may be wrong for not
- supplying what seems to be a great product, but it is not on the
- popular systems and I subscribe to comp.unix.shell.
-
- If perl *is* a shell, then I apologize, but if perl *is* a shell why
- is this person doing 'perl -e .......' ????
-
- Just looking for information......
