Microsoft has Resource Kit CD's that contain a bunch of "unsupported"
tools, some of which are required to do any serious system
administration.  For some strange reason, they include ActiveState
Perl, along with a zip file containing the source code, although it
doesn't install by default.  They must not have any worries about that
language competing seriously with their products ;-)
