Hi,I can tell my experience with Perl was doing admin tasks in Linux, and it was very good at doing this, I even obtained a script to parse mime and add footer ads for emails, like Yahoo.On the other hand for desktop applications I would use Visual Basic or Java, it makes more sense to me.But as as long as Perl has pertinent resources for creating your game and you know how to use it, you better go for it.And don't worry about how many people have Perl installed, it is an easy task if your game is interesting enough, I remember I installed Python on my laptop only to reset my iPod Shuffle
