Everyone was very concerned that the code would change, or the new developers would try to change it into UBB, or things like that. That is why I was able to reassure everyone that something like that wasn't going to happen.
But isn't that partly what's happening? We're used to things the way they are and a significant user-base are being told to get stuffed because the Infopop folks can't be bothered to maintain the Perl version.
And nobody from Infopop said it was inferior. I said that I will be able to do alot more things in PHP than I would be able to do in PERL. Yes, I know you can do almost anything in PERL but alot of requires extra modules. I went into the full explanation in quite a few posts already. Infopop made the decision that my time would be better spent focusing on one product instead of 2.
... then they should have no problem with someone picking up the Perl ball and running with it on their own. Obviously they feel it isn't "worth their resources" to maintain it.
I could have sworn I saw a "side by side" comparison made recently as to "why" Perl was dropped. Even your statement itself implies some inferiority in the Perl platform "because it requires extra modules". I can't seem to find the note I was talking about now, though. (too many messages on this topic to find the particular nugget I'm looking for and I don't remember the wording enough to use the search. []/testimages/icons/wink.gif[/]
