I think your last point is the most valid. There's no shame is preferring the lang you know best to solve any given problem (including network programming). In most cases, I believe Java's verbosity is a feature not a flaw. However, if verbosity were a superhero then perl would be its arch nemesis. So I can see your distaste considering your comfort with the "perl way" (tm). Ironically, I use both java and perl... Yes, I'm a conflicted person. -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
