That's not true. If you slap a million lines together, then you have a better chance, but a good programmer in a proper environment doesn't write buggy code (or at least removes the bugs before going into production). You'd never get a job in a financial/aerospace/medical field with that attitude. > The issue is how easy/hard it is > to create bugs, and how hard it is to find them. Creating bugs means making mistakes. Some languages help to remedy the problem by being highly typed, structured, OO, etc - which also makes them take much longer to write, but harder to write bugs in. Perl isn't written that way - it's quick and dirty - you have to do the work yourself to keep from being buggy and you benefit by being up and running much faster. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
