> The problem Perl has is that it is the language tied to the first dot-com crash. Prior to the dot-com crash, there was the AI Winter. This is where Lisp died, for almost identical reasons. When a major tragedy happens, someone or something has to take the fall.

I hate Perl because of its syntax but I have to be thankful to Perl because it made Matz start Ruby.

That said, your statement doesn't compute: What does Perl has to do with the dot-com crash?!
