-1 Hmm... I'm fond of Perl, but string to number comparisons would, imho, increase ambiguity in comparisons. Examples: #if ( 42 == "42" ) Perl says true but what does Velocity decide? #end #if ( 42 == "42.0" ) Perl says true but what does Velocity decide? #end #if ( 42 == "4.2e1" ) Perl says true but what does Velocity decide? #end #if ( 0 == "0" ) Perl says true but what does Velocity decide? #end #if ( 0 == "foo" ) Perl says true but what does Velocity decide? #end I support that numbers including float should Just Work (tm) and want to be able to type #set ( $foo = 5 / 2.5) but fear the negative effect of weird/ambiguious comparison rules between numbers and strings. -Timo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
