You saw the :-] at the end of the paragraph, I guess?

I was just pulling Arved's chain (and apparently yours as well). On 
the Mac side of things, I consider Perl most useful as a convenient 
and relatively easy tool to use for stuff that the Mac user interface 
doesn't generally support directly. That's partly because MacPerl is 
so fast and generally good at things like low level text file I/O and 
manipulation and partly because I've concluded that the current MacOS 
is utterly hopeless for web server purposes if you need to do cgi.
