So, then the only acceptable way to develop something for FreeBSD is to hand toggle in machine code?? I really think the developer should have a good set of tools at hand that enable creation of a quality product. Perl is very good for certain types of scripting and leads to something actually getting developed rather than just thought about forever. Actually, although I have read the rational for removing Perl from the base, I am rather sorry to see it go. Now, I will have to add one more port at every install, kind of a big one too. We use Perl quite a bit here. > So if want to (install) buy a car and go to the (ports) shop i dont > expect to bring my (perl) wrench to the (ports) shop . No, you expect a competent shop to have the tool and know how to use it. Otherwise you wouldn't take your car there. ////jerry > > > Bad analogy. A better one would go something like this.
