Its just a question ? i only want them to think a bit before they bring in perl to build there application. I am not a developer so i can not think for them i can only ask questions. I would not even ask them if the application itself would use it. Then i would accept it as part of a furniture. PS if you buy a new television do you still want the robotic arm of the factory standing next to it in your living room ? I can only talk about cosmetic things as a user because i dont know how a television works inside.
