What is your classification of true??
That has a subtle negative meaning towards Microsoft! Do you know that Microsoft signed a three year contract with ActiveState? This means that Microsoft sees the importance of Perl!

You are right, I do have something against Microsoft, but this not the place to discuss this topic. Right? Wink
I don't think that Microsoft has signed that contract because they appreciate the power of Perl. Since Microsoft is against the idea of open-source-programming, I think that they just looking for another money-making deal.

PS: have you ever seen an open-source product made by Microsoft? Smile
