Why do you despise Perl then ? No flame wars please. Just intrested. I have used Perl, PHP, VB, & Java for web programming and currently favour perl (in its embedded mod_perl form) but have probably spent the most time with Java. I find Perl quick and easy to get simply things running. Ditto PHP. But when I want to start doing more complicated things like say building up class libraries or processing XML messages via SOAP then Perl still lets me via modules in CPAN but thats not the same for PHP. Course I might be missing something re PHP, love to learn more if I am. Rob
