Thanks for the interview

Thanks for the interview.
Otherwise some suggestions for questions in the next interview...

1.) Perl vs. PHP for web applications and for CMS or WCMS platforms, how or what did we do wrong in making Perl monks thinking that PHP is more powerful then Pel when it comes to usage and development of those.

2.) Perl6: What is that? Would that be the post post... modern language? Or how would you define it?

3.) What were the true advantages of having a genius linguist as your self (Larry Wall) writing this language, comparing to other computer languages.

Thanks!

Sidekick: The Good News & the Bad News
Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
