in reply to Seven good reasons for Perl

As Perl's becoming less popular, webspace with real perl interpreter can be quite costly.
Man, they have been saying that Perl is becoming less popular for at least half a dozen years. I only wish it to be true. But certain channels are still flocked with non-programmers doing webby stuff who think that Perl == web. I wish they'd go away. I'd wish someone would tell them Python and Java are much better languages for them.
