Now that I think about it, you're probably right. However, most folks I
know running a UNIX-like OS, including Linux, use the "standard"
versions of Perl, Tcl/Tk and Python rather than the ActiveState ports of
them. It would drive me bonkers to have two versions of Tcl/Tk on my
Linux systems, since I don't in fact program directly in either but use
them only as embedded in other tools. The same goes for Ruby.

Long ago in a galaxy far away, there were **major** differences between
the ActiveState Perl and the "standard" CPAN Perl. The Perl community
beat up mercilessly on ActiveState and ActiveState fixed it. :)
