I wonder why use Lina's VM with Python/Perl when these can be run under
Windows/MacOS natively...?

I don't know about Python, but Perl's integration with Windows is more
than a little hokey (Perl's an unashamedly POSIX app) so using a VM
might make some apps work better. On the other hand, using a VM is still
an incredibly heavyweight solution. And it's not about to make those
scripts work like Windows apps either.
