So what is it, really, about Perl that makes it "so different" from other languages. Much Perl code that I've read looks less like Java, C++, Python, or VB. It tends closer to C, Shell, awk, sed, etc. Is it the regular expressions? The MTOWTDI? The use of "->" instead of "."? All the funny characters? I haven't really thought bout this since I started learning Perl before Perl 5 existed. Hmm. I'll have to think about that. I've been looking at Perl for so long that I really don't think about it anymore. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
