not fools. Perl is an interpretted language that runs on Win95, WinNT,
Macs (I believe), Amigas, and almost every UNIX. It originated in the
UNIX world and is a freeware product. Microsoft paid for the Windows

See also www.perl.com for loads of pointers to other sites. It is 
discussed on USENET under comp.lang.perl.misc
