The user claims he dislikes Perl due to illegible syntax and poor documentation as main things. Let's see. Illegible syntax in his opinion is mostly presented in regular expression syntax. Is he a dumb @$$ or what. Regular expressions are pretty much the same syntax for any language that you use that offer that facility, oh I guess python is more legible:-) Documentation, also in his opinion is poor. I won't even comment on this, since his favorite language, as he goes on to explain, is python. And we are comparing what here, documentation and available resources? Wow, he must be in a different world. Then for some reason he claims this line, in his poorly designed code to be difficult to understand. push @s, '' unless @s; Hmmm. Would this be easier? if (!@s) { push @s, ''; } I guess he can't understand reverse logic. Maybe Visual Basic is the language of choice for him, just open up the user interface and click away:-) Ilya > http://www.pixeldate.com/dev/comparison/ > > ===== > iVAN > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > =====
