PERL > is moving faster than FreeBSD, in other words. I don't believe this is the case, either. In the last two years, Perl has gone from 5.000 to almost 5.004, the same time frame in which FreeBSD has gone from pre-2.0 almost to 2.2-RELEASE. Do you really find the differences between Perl 5.000 and 5.004 to be *more* significant than those between FreeBSD 2.0 and 2.2-RELEASE? I don't get that impression; if anything, FreeBSD seems to be outstripping Perl in speed of development.
