It's not only one person.  But not everybody has enough time to
discuss such strange things.

Since Oliver made clear at the beginning that he refuses to use
Norbert's Perl modules, I doubt that he is able to collaborate.

The ***final*** decision to do everything in Perl had been made at
EuroTeX-2007 and nobody involved in TL-development is interested in a
discussion about other programming languages.

The installer has to be written in a programming language which can be
expected to be available on all UNIX platforms and for which one we
have binaries on the CD/DVD.  This language is Perl, everything else
would be brain-dead.  Any further discussion about this is useless.

If Oliver wants to contribute he has to collaborate but it seems that
he doesn't intend to do so. 

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
