Fortran..... i don't see why such ugly stuff should creep in into modern
languages....

heh try it... you won't see me leave perl for python, there are much
nicer OO languages out there (eiffel, java, etc.)i first besides the
fact that perl is becoming an OO language itself.

true the polymorphial and weak typing of perl can be problems, and thus
programmers need a quite strong discipline, but the codebase is immense,
most of the time really easy to use, and bindings to other libraries are
often better to use than in their native env, look at gtk which is a
extreme pain to use in C/C++ but a real pleasure in perl....
