I'm sorry, you turned it into a religious argument. I started out asking
for comments and ideas. OK, I did so by talking in an inflammatory fashion
about perl, but that was not my *primary* purpose.

So, any reasonable comments about ap, or any alternative to perl for that
matter, are still welcome. And yes, I think comp.unix.shell is a reasonable
forum for this discussion, since there is no comp.unix.command.interpreter.
