It was a major 2 web page article, and I'd sware I read it on one of the usual Perlish web sites. I'd sware it was about Amazon, or eBay, or some company like that and had some well known names as part of the project. Hang on. I just found it (by way of Slashdot)... it was about eToys, October 17, 2001, its web 5 pages long, and mentions Randal Schwartz and Damian Conway. I knew I wasn't dreamming! Anyway the URL is: http://perl.com/pub/a/2001/10/17/etoys.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fulko Hew, Voice: 905-681-5570 Lead Designer - Management Tools, Fax: 905-681-5556 SITA (Burlington) Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 777 Walkers Line, Burlington, Ontario, Canada, L7N 2G1
