JR> It's Boolean logic and goto. JR> There is nothing else, but that we decide it to be so. well, i disagree and i would say most (if not all) of the attendees would say that too. but such is what makes horse races. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Free Perl Training --- http://perlhunter.com/college.html --------- --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
