Any pitfalls to be aware of? as i said in another post just now, you can't hide complexity, it will come out somewhere in your system. for less complex cases, it doesn't matter so much how you design things. data driven is nice when you have easy to setup tables of data. but data isn't always neat and clean. try crawling web pages and grabbing out human info such as authors, publication dates, etc. that is a mess and no easy tables to be found anywhere. the bottom line is that it all depends on the problem and how well it can translate to data tables. i suspect too many programs don't map well to that. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- http://www.stemsystems.com --Perl Consulting, Stem Development, Systems Architecture, Design and Coding- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ---------------------------- http://jobs.perl.org _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
