Yes, *mostly* in perl.  But we don't ship any perl code (we use perl for
everything from our build process to our packaging (CD-creation) process to
actually generating C++, Java, and shell code that we compile and actually
ship).  I got to do about 500 lines of C++ code over the last two weeks - I
was in heaven.  :-)
