A bit premature to judge, but it looks like a more reliable alternative to
some of the Win32 modules for admin tasks. Not sure that I see much other
use for it, though.
This is interesting, if true:
http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/21/0153251 I've also
found C# very perlish, although that may be more coincidental. I guess you
have to respect Bill and his minions for mimicing the best. The marketing
genius that chose a word that rhymes so nicely with one of the nuts between
my legs should probably be fired, though...

Actually, this is a great idea (getc() returning more than 1 char to
indicate out-of-band data). Hmm, but maybe one should better decrease
the coolness of this, and return some object reference instead.
Thanks,
