If "they" only know Tcl and "you" only know Perl, then that's a fairly strong argument for Tcl, all else being equal (which of course it is not). See some very old advocacy arguments at http://www.perl.com/language/versus/ See the Tcl people doing themselves a huge disservice at http://www.tcl.tk/advocacy/perl.html And some comments at http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.advocacy/1726 Follow the thread for more. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
