While I agree, I must say that there are things I have learned by 'forced study' of JAPH and Perl golf... I am not condoning this type of commercial/production usage of Perl (or any other 'fun' language), but I see their value. Merlyn, you must have thought they were 'enjoyable' as well, once upon a time... For what it is worth; -Sx- :]
