I can't say I blame you. I'm just going by my gut, what I've seen before and what some birds have sung in my ear. My opinion on this matter, though, is strictly my opinion and is in no way official. > I doubt a HTML parser is that important. Something like Storable and > GDBM_File are though. When Andy mentioned the Phalanx project, I had the same reaction to some of the modules in that project. However, as has been pointed out regarding MS Word, most users only use a very tiny subset of its functionality. The problem is that the users are using different subsets. I've done huge amounts of HTML parsing and can't recall having used GDBM_File. Perl6 without a robust HTML parser would be quite limited for me, though I'm sure one will be ready soon. Cheers, Ovid
