C is a smaller and simpler language than Perl. This does not mean that it is always easier to program a solution to a problem in C than in Perl. I would argue that most programs are easier to program in Perl rather than in C. -- Shlomo Yona [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://yeda.cs.technion.ac.il/~yona/ _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
