In which way are arrays _important_ for database interaction? The important things when dealing with databases is to get the job done in the best, most scalable and dynamic way. I still haven't seen _one damn thing_ that PHP does better than Perl, but I've seen a lot of things that can be done better in Perl than in PHP. That's not necessarily a bad thing, 'cause PHP is very web-centric, while Perl is easier to use when dealing with that _and_ "other things" (like system administration, for example). I'd love to see examples on what Perl can't do compared to PHP. -- Tore Aursand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
