I disagree with the portability aspect. perl with the standard modules
is much more portable then whatever C++ code one can write.
Thinking about the problems we have with C++ code in other projects
(eg xetex) to get compiled on everything from old solaris to whatever,
I honestly prefer Perl.

But not that I have anything to say ;-)))
