Nice joke! No, as you know, Koha 3.2 will be in Perl and Koha 4.0 will be in Lisp. Haha Greg! Nice joke! No, as you know, Koha 3.2 will be in Perl and Koha 4.0 will be in Lisp.

Anyone who has had some exposure to programming previously could probably could follow "Perl by Example". Actually I think Koha should have been written in Java. Maybe for Koha 3.2 the developers will switch from Perl to Java?
