However, that's not exactly what I was thinking with that analogy. If Perl 6 is 4'33" that would be most unfortunate. Actually, I was thinking of the difference between "there is one way" (Python & Babbitt's serialism (side note: Babbitt is a _really_ nice guy and not a crazy fascist though I can't stand his music)) and TMTOWTDI (John Cage for sure). -dave /*================== www.urth.org We await the New Sun ==================*/
