No, I am executing my code in my context. Neither your REPL or my little Perl command can replace a well thought out Perl program.

You fail to understand what a REPL is for. A REPL is for learning and playing with a language. Some people also use them as a debugging or prototyping environment*. It isn't supposed to be a well thought out program, well the REPL is, but the stuff the user types into it isn't. *Lisp and Scheme people actually use them as editors. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
