Is there a way to compile Perl to a native binary? Why do you see that (compile Java to a native binary) as a requirement before starting a Java policy? I'm curious, because if there is such a Perl utility I know a lot of people who would want to try it (no sarcasm, I'm serious). At the same time, if there isn't, I would not say the Perl policy is no good. Most of your other points are good, I'm not sure I agree with them all, but I'd really like to see this one clarified. ---- Cris J H -- Cris J. Holdorph [EMAIL PROTECTED]
