Damian, of course, would strongly disagree with this statement. He would indicate (and I would agree) that Perl has the *most flexible* object system available for any programming language. It allows Damian (and me) to to do some fairly amazing bits of magic that would be nearly impossible with the rigid object models in C++ or Java. It's more like a true OO language like Smalltalk than any other. jas. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
