Yes, I prefer the 'batteries included' model. It's too much of a pain to get CPAN + dependencies into our network or on the server we need it on. It is faster to just learn whatever language has it already enough to do what is needed. We've even.. used powershell. Although, if it is in the Red Hat repository it's not too much trouble to install it. But then it goes to your 'OS Version', which I think is essentially not the ideal way to think about software. I'm hoping RHEL8 fixes it with the concept of appstreams.

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).
