Santa uses Perl.
Or at least his crew does. It’s amazing to read just how integrated Perl has become throughout the whole Santa organization. I always figured Perl would make sense for Santa, who’s got to have some serious need for flexibility, power, and speed in his IT infrastructure — not to mention fun — but I guess I didn’t give enough credit to his staff and assumed they’d gone the Java route. Good for them!
