It's so hyped, I tend to avoid anyone building it up. At this point, it's a completely different language...why even call it perl? :) Seriously, when you make that dramatic of a change to the syntax of a language, it pretty much ceases to be that language. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BBEdit Talk" group.
