From a software engineering viewpoint, I don't like perl and much prefer php or python as a scripting language. In perl there is far too much "geeky" stuff. For instance, what is the meaning of $1. It changes based on the context. That makes it easy to misinterpret the code. Also using different prefixes for hashes, variables, and arrays makes reading code for the non expert harder. Perl can be considered expert-friendly and that isn't a compliment. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
