I hate to start a flame war, and it also happens that I love Perl too. Yes, it is possible to write beautiful code in Perl. However, a general culture that I have observed in Perl hackers is that the more you know the language, the more you are prone to use real complex code. Beautiful code != optimized code, in perl-land. IF there is more than one way to do it, then perl users are more prone to do it in away that reduces keystrokes, and hence ... Very difficult to do it in languages like Python and Java. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya http://www.sandipb.net sandip at puroga.com Puroga Technologies Pvt.
