Well, if you want to see all the reasons why Perl may not be a 
suitable replacement for GDL, please see consult the list 
archives. We had a rather toasty flamewar over this (and quite a 
few other things) around the middle of November.

If you are thinking about writing a Perl API for Xconq, then go 
for it. I can think of several other people on this list who would 
probably appreciate it, even though Python seemed to be a more 
popular choice (though it was not always clear whether it was 
being considered as an API for the Xconq engine, AI's, or a GDL 
replacement).
