Nuff said. Still, before all is said and done I want to thank CIO for breathing life into what has been a dead list. It is a pleasant surprize to discover the many creative minds participating on this list. I learned a lot. For all the AI fans out there, if you missed the recent PBS "Beyond Human" series about nano technology and robots, I recommend you track down a copy. The robot piece will be rebroadcast this Sunday morning (here at least). It was, in the word of Mr.Spock..."fascinating." Lastly, as flames go this was all fairly polite and not at all offensive compared to what one sees elsewhere. To my mind this speaks to the caliber of folks who are attracted to Perl.

If what you're posting is *really* about the suitability of Perl for AI, then feel free to post it, but if it ain't, it shouldn't be here. -- The Messiah will come.
