I think it will. Or the definition of "perl" will change slightly. I think Perl6 will have sufficient hooks such that other languages (or editors) will have complete access to perl's parsing ability via a library (for instance. maybe it's via some other mechanism) such that anything could parse perl if it knows how to ask. :-) -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff [EMAIL PROTECTED]
