Re: Perl, yum, and DBD::DB2?

Not specifically related to Python, but C# and .Net is now available on an IBMi near you.

You can start building C# apps using .Net and running natively if you have an interest in doing so.

And you find Perl's syntax is closer to C family than Python's?

Absolutely.

If so, that is a decidedly minority opinion.

Really? I've never seen Python listed in a C language family list, like these on Wikipedia:

Is it that you really just miss block-delimiting braces? And maybe
semicolons after every statement?

Yes. Even though I indent my code, I don't like using whitespace to delimit code blocks. Also with long statements, I like the freedom to split a statement across multiple lines, and further indent the additional lines of such a statement for clarity.
