Right, but then that's true for more or less any scripting language. And a simpler, "more structured" language like Python or Scheme might have advantages for kids over a language as freeform as Perl. Then again, if the goal is for them to do a web site, and they're already comfortable with HTML markup, then maybe one of Perl's template frameworks might be a good next step... -- Chris Devers _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
