This is the sort of price you pay when the language has a million times more 3rd parties libraries than it does standard libraries. Everyone wants their name listed on CPAN. A similar buildup is occurring with Ruby gems. Everyone is forking everyone's code on Github, making duplicate, only slightly different/better gems, it's a mess. What happened to the good old days when projects rarely got forked, and you would know the download url of your favorite stuff by heart? I'm using Python more and more these past couple of years. Works really well for command line scripting as well as large scale web development. -- Greg Donald destiney.com | gregdonald.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
