About the non-Perl-specific examples... Yes it does give an advantage to resellers
using Perl...
but when it comes down to generic data structures in the OPS.pm's XML, they're all
arrays and associative containers. I think that just about every language has arrays
(Atari basic you ask?...): Java's Vector and C++'s vector or list in the STL. As for
"associative containers", Java's Hashtable or C++'s maps or multimaps in the STL
should do the trick.
