Hi Evgeny! Before I reply to what you said in regards to Perl's deficiencies, here's a comment about E-mail etiquette.

What you did in each of the messages was Top- posted your answer (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style ), while quoting the entire message below, without trimming it. Furthermore, each one of your messages included an HTML version of the text which increased its size by over 100%. Next time, I suggest you: 1. Do inline replies. 2. Trim the text. 3. Try to configure your mail client to not include an HTML attachment. Regards, Shlomi "Die! GMail! Die!"
