If you use Perl in CGI only then you seem to misunderstand lots of stuff. The Perl interpreter is loaded once per FastCGI task, so noone waits.... its the startup (which is then 100times faster against C# or Java, but whatever, not the topic). So please, dont compare Apples with Pears.

Impressive post... Perl Marketing and DuckDuckGo wanna thank you for those wise words :-) (from a guy working for both). Would be nice if you would get into contact with me: getty@duckduckgo.com or getty@cpan.org ;)

You dont need to convince them to switch! You can still talk to your gtalk friends, its all XMPP/Jabber! This is not a service just for inside duckduckgo. Inform yourself a bit more about XMPPP/Jabber :-).

We prefer Perl, cause we got one solution for everything and can easily combine the thousands components offered. Just cause a lib does IRC doesnt help us much :-) It must be easy! :)

We definitly will add such a page, so far i can point you to the statement on our forum, you can see it here:

http://duck.co/topic/duckduckgo-s-new-public-xmpp-jabber-ser...

See down under the comments, i explained there what is so far logged, but we will tune this now over the next days.

Why?! :-)

We will see :-) So far we dont have a place where we put the name lol :-) All step by step! :-)

We at DuckDuckGo assure the same anti-tracking policy on our XMPP server. There is nothing greater about DDG then other sites following the same policy :-). But its DDG :-)

I always suggest prosody :-) And we use this as our XMPP server cause its the modern way to use XMPP :)

We use a Perl Bot for this. It will uses POE-Components to connect to the IRC and to the XMPP and then dispatches the messages to one from the other.

If you are interested, just join us on IRC and we talk about it :)
