That would be the animal... more properly "PerlScript" though not just on
the client; just like there was a fetish about five years ago for what the
then-Netscape "LiveConnect" people used to call "Server-Side JavaScript",
there was also a movement to do ASP pages with PerlScript -- I believe it
even used the same (on that OS from the EastSide) .dll-based Perl
interpreter that its browser-ish cousin did. IIRC, the whole exercise was
the product of a long Norwegian winter, and about as well-received.
More likely (having worked with a nontrivial number of recruiter-types in
my days developing HR applications), what they want is someone who can do
shell-like scripting in Perl, much like the topic of one of Tim's talks.
cheers,
jeff :)
