Although there is certainly some give-and-take among users of the various OSes, the Perl community seems to be generally pretty tolerant of people of another faith. Not only does Perl support VMS after Apache dropped it, but core Perl now (as of April) supports MacOS classic, which had already been replaced by MacOS X when the support was added. Wonder how many other examples of retrocomputing product releases there are? Tom Wyant
