With that, I disagree. I already find that there's a continuous battle
going with people who consider Perl a weblanguage. Perl is far more than
a weblanguage - it being mentioned as an Apache project doesn't promote
the idea that Perl is more than a weblanguage IMO.

I don't like the idea of Microsoft, IBM or GNU mentioning Perl as one
of their projects - and neither do I like the idea of Apache mentioning
Perl as one of their projects.
