As many of you know, Wal-Mart has been selling PCs with the Lindows OS, which is basically a Debian clone. The OS comes with a preinstalled version of Perl. Apparently Java, Python, and, of course, PHP are not included. (Note that a US judge recently ruled that Microsoft must include Java with WinXP.) Before you say "So what?", consider the fact that Wal-Mart is the world's largest retailer with more than 3,400 stores in the U.S. and in countries like China, Brazil, Germany, and even California. ;) And they are growing . . .

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
