"scalable" is about "doing more of the same", along one or more axes. For example: having a webpage full of numbers, that is doing a separate database query for every number, is not scalable along the "users" axis. On the axis of "maintenance effort", there is not much in transforming an "if(!condition){action}" to an "if(condition){}else{action}". Many editors can start a macro to do that by a single keystroke. -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
