in reply to Perl and Open Source in General

I seem to remember that Windows NT 3.5 came with Perl pre-installed (version 3 I think). But yes, Perl isn't a Microsoft product.

    I want to say it was on the official unofficial tools CD with the NT Resource kit, not actually in the OS installation. If you search for Perl in Amazon's copy of the NT4 Workstation version you'll see oblique mention that it's on the CD. So yeah, they did provide copies.</pedant>
