8/9     Just curious, how many of you find perl on windows to be useful?
        I find myself writing lots of unix perl but never seem to write
        windows perl even though I keep my activestate up to date.
        \_ When i'm forced into a windows environment (like the last few
           months), it's nice to have something that i can still fall back
           on.  i still use unix perl alot.  i find a cygwin installation
           more comforting than just perl.

        \_ What makes you think they are telling the truth now? It seems just
           as likely to me that the economy flew higher and crashed harder than
           the government wants to admit, so they are trying to lower the
           baseline a bit to hide the deep recession we are in now and
           try to keep us out of a depresssion.
