Microsoft, who I gather funded ActivePerl for about 3 years, has a new shell (called PowerShell) and a new console/terminal (called PowerShell Plus) Variables in the PowerShell begin with '$' -- but this is just a highly superficial resemblance to perl. Question 1: Is there any meaningful impact of perl on PowerShell, and if so, what? Supposedly commands in PowerShell are piped by passing objects (rather than streams of text); I don't know enough to say what that is let alone to say whether that is good or bad; but I guess instead of piping/streaming textual data, it merely pipes a pointer to the structured data. Question 2: Does PowerShell allow that notion of piping entire objects to be imparted to any script or will a scripting language have to do something special to support that notion?
