Lets just hope it comes in time to answer the SOS of people reading this **** flame war. I'll admit I use perl. Why? Because at a past job it was used for a lot of stuff. Never used TCL (although I have a book on it at home which should get read sometime). If push came to shove, I'd prefer NOT having either of them installed by default. There is no clean way to ensure that we don't have recurrances of the current situation that we have with perl4 (and others) festering nicely in /usr/src. However, any move which will (later) allow us to rip such stuff out screaming is good. If SOS, down the road, can give us the necessary compartmentalism to do this, then a few months of pulled hair will be worth it.
