Right. That argument is no longer valid. In the rare case where Perl is 
NOT available, build it yourself. Carry the source (or binarys) with you 
on a flash drive. You can run perl out of your hone directory.

And hey, other languages have Librarys. For all you know parts of AWK 
might be implemented as libraries of some type.

Same Fix. Carry the modules that you might need with you on a flash drive.
