And plenty of people who aren't anal retentive seem to enjoy coding in
it too... :) (I couldn't say yes to any of those.)
Anyway (returning to Julian's comment), why on earth would the
language X is coded in affect the language Y is coded in, if Y only
calls X via the shell? If your package depends on bits of dpkg-dev
being written in Perl, you have much more serious problems than your
taste in programming languages...
