Hi John, that sounds like a little light at the end of the tunnel ;-) As I wrote, my biggest concern to start my own project is duplicating already existing work and ending up with a much inferior and decoupled (read 'pure Perl') solution, compared to yours. So it would be of really great help if the developers would decide to make this Perl module a part of pspp.
Thanks so far, I'll stay tuned.
