::::::: But surely decompression by another ''external'' program leaves too little for the task to be ''solved'' by a particular language (as was the case in Perl - now changed)? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 04:19, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
:::::::: It really doesn't make a difference. Now Perl code uses modules to do the decompression, which uses libbz2 just like bunzip2 program, and ''I'' ended up doing exactly the same amount of work. I don't see how this better fits the spirit of the task, not to mention that Perl is a glue language, and calling system commands is its thing anyway. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 05:04, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
