You can always ask perl to "use English". Mathematics is full of symbols and it is very beautiful once you understand their meaning. Perl is no different, and the symbols are well chosen - Larry Wall is a linguist and considerable effort has gone into these details. Learning a programming language is much more than the semantics. Suggest the focus of our discussion is directed towards deeper topics. - Raja _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
