It's not very likely that people are going to one day choose to write boot loaders in Perl...

And it would have to be some desperate and twisted evil foo hackery that would code an entire operating system kernel in perl (that could run stand-alone). Perl device drivers do not sound like a Good Idea^TM.

There are some jobs that are always going to be better written in assembler (or perhaps C)

What is your perl binary written in, and why?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
