Here's why I didn't install Perl when it first appeared on Usenet: The
volume of patches. I like software that is stable, and Perl didn't
seem to be. It's too painful to keep updating a program. It's nicer
to have all the bugs fixed before you install the program. That stage
never seemd to arrive for Perl.
Now with the recent Perl posting, I again see patches appearing almost
simultaneously.
Comments are welcome.
