So do I, but then I put it there myself when I was copying a load of legacy stuff from my old DOS 6 laptop :) >>I think everyone should have perl installed, myself :) > >Great for when you use Linux, but AFAIK it's of no use under Losedows. Oh but it is. Think of all of the interesting things you can do with perl on a linux box and then consider how handy it would be to do similarly on a windows machine. With the Windows Script Host and ActiveState's PerlScript you can even make them run 'the windows way'. Another use is of course if you happen to have a web server running on your windows machine (which I do <g>) ... although obviously for most things my linux web server is the one I use.
