Good point. I didn't read far enough to see the exclusion of Perl.

B at stards.

I got excited when I first saw the announcement, then I read the rules
which
contain:

We provide source code in C++. You may also choose to write your code in
Java or
 Python, in which case you are responsible for
implementing any necessary interface code. Your submission must include
a
Makefile and README, and must compile on Linux 2.2
 or 2.4 using g++ (for C++ code) or standard Sun tools (for Java code)
or Python
 version 2.2. If your code depends on third-party packages,
 you must include a complete list of all packages, including exact
version
information and download URLs. Sorry, we cannot accept entries
 that require commercial software or other software that is not provided
as open
 source or under GPL.

Notice the absence of Perl.

But having 900,00 web pages that you can download...just another day at
the
office ;-)
