And considering the most common alternatives (C, Java), Perl is very
close to Scheme.  Much closer than Python, which doesn't support
proper lambda expressions, and until 2.0 didn't have closures.  So
until I can convince someone to pay me to code Scheme, I will continue
to code Perl for a living :)
