>>Perl is on every linux >Linux yes. Not every Unix, not every Windows. Wait, you'll only consider languages that come pre-installed on all Unices and Windows? That's a pretty short list! Or are you complaining that Perl isn't available for some Unices or some versions of Windows? I'm curious to know what version of Unix or Windows has Python and/or Ruby interpreters available, but doesn't have Perl.

No, you've completely misunderstood my post. I was saying "I have to do all the effort to install perl and then I still have to do more work to actually write a program". We then took a detour where it was claimed there is no effort involved in installing perl. Well, sometimes there is. There is with other languages too, but at least once I have them installed I can just use them without having to go read about about current use statements I should be using.
