Re: [MacPerl-Scribes] Re: Using MacPerl for CGI Programming

Not to nitpick (but since this entire thread is about positive nitpicking) 
[Pp]erl is _most definitely_ a programming language.

The use of the term "scripting" language is vague and indefinite. There is 
no general agreement on what is and what isn't a scripting language, it's 
not used consistently, and it's not even a useful concept.
