All of the replies are imperative in nature. There is no logic programming in them. Perhaps I wasn't clear. When I say "logic programming", I really am referring to logic programming and not imperative programming: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_programming. Your reference to red and green cuts suggests to me that you know the difference, so I assume I am misunderstanding you. By being able to specify the domain of a problem and a pattern for the solution rather than the steps necessary to solve the problem, one acquires a much greater flexibility for solving certain types of problems. Perl cannot cannot natively do that outside of regular expressons. Cheers, Ovid ===== If this message is a response to a question on a mailing list, please send follow up questions to the list.
