Where does Oracle hid perl in 11g (Windows version)? My company has strict rule about what we can install on servers, so downloading a copy from the internet is not a preferred option.

In my completely biased opinion: Perl.
- Its' everywhere.
- It can do anything.
- It's fast.
- There are lots of people out there who can help you.
- That thing you need to do: someone's probably already done it for you (probably Jared).
- It's a great language that doesn't stand in the way of clear thinking.
- It's a living language that keeps improving with every release.

Perl?
I'm not a guru myself, in fact,. I hardly understand it! Jarred (Apologies if I've spelt your name wrong!) on this list is a guru and uses Perl quite extensively for Oracle duties I believe.
I even think that an Oracle install installs Perl <somewhere? beneath ORACLE_HOME. Even on Windows?
I use ActivePerl on Windows when I have to run scripts in that language.
Cheers,
Norman.
