I prefer writing utilities and applications in Perl:
1. The tools are free, both as in beer and as in freedom.
2. They run anywhere a Perl interpreter is available (including
http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ for Windows).
3. The Perl license is much less imposing than the GPL, especially Cygwin's
application of the GPL.
