The primary 'different' for me is the fact that Perl has *TWO* types of expressions: scalar expressions [just like every other programming language] and *list* expressions [like very few]. Being able to deal with lists is VERY slick and makes for some beautiful and compact solutions to problems that other languages have to struggle with. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--
