About what? Most of the perl groups *are* dead. Check it out yourself.
Vast amounts of hdd space and other system resources (and thus energy,
for manufacturing and transportation and operation) *could* be saved.

It makes a *lot* of sense.

Who said I hate perl? *You* said that. It's just redundant: C or
bash can do everything that perl does with a fraction of the system
resources. I like efficiency and versatility.
I don't like having to learn a redundant programming language that
takes more system resources than I need to run a complete nix OS.

I have been reading about that feature, here and on the Web. Want a bunch
of un-decipherable code that doesn't execute?
