Thanks Ocicat , much indebted to you and you're a source !
I thought the openbsd team chose perl because it is more practical and more powerful than the rest .. likewise after reading days ago that openbsd team got rid of c++ from the base I thought c is better or less problematic or more secure .. again a newbie scale ..
my aim is to qualify as a BSD user [and contributor in the long run] so that I can -the best way- make use of the new OS I discoverd,loved, and trusted .. I feel the urge to embrace this new culture .. the BSD UNIX culture .. I met with some problems that windows hid from me as a user .. namely : unicode support ..
I am divorsing my old bad 'WinHabits' .. among many , doing without gui to develop the alternative '*Nix-habits' .. using snownews / lynx/ mp3blaster/ mutella /xxxterm / ...

so I guess it is python instead of perl ..
