The Strength of Perl
Thank you for your good work in FetchYahoo. This script of yours shows the
strength of Perl. I am a die-hard Pythonista and downloading Yahoo Mail is
the first time Python has let me down. Python can do other https cookied
transactions; but something from Yahoo causes a segfault in the urlopen call.
Perl, on the other hand, works just fine. And once I learned about
Perl's CPAN shell for downloading and installing the modules you need, I
found myself rethinking my ignorance of Perl and found a tutorial on the
net. So one more thing: thanks for making me take a look at Perl.
