I've been avoiding getting involved with this thread because I consider Derek's whole line of reasoning to be pretty innane, but I thought I'd comment on this issue. In my opinion, after you learn how to use references in Perl, and after you learn how to use lists of refs and hashes of refs, you'll cry the next time that you have to implement anything similar in C/C++/Java. --kevin -- Kevin D.
