I think in the more newer languages, they have implemented true
booleans. Perl is kind of old school. Pascal defines them as a
grandfather of languages. Therefore as one migrates the languages to a
higher levels (e.g. Perl[n]), they all will end up with a boolean data
type. Therefore, I think the $true and $false is a more consistent
method in a multiple languages environments (particularly doing web
things [Java and _javascript_] for a consistent set of rules across the
board. Thanks for your input. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
