As someone else who has written a bunch of popular perl stuff over the 
years, I'll chime in here too - I write a lot less open source stuff 
these days, but when I do I'm looking much more to JavaScript. The 
language is actually about as good as Perl (some areas better, some 
worse), but the implementation, the interpreters, are just WAY faster.
