I think Bill gets Perl. (c.f. http://www.bayview.com/training/instructors.shtml) Jonathan, I hate to personalize things, but that kind of response is an example of what people mean when they talk about the Perl community being unfriendly. Moreover, Bill said he liked Params::Validate, just that it was wordy for him. It's not the first time someone in the Perl community thought something was wordy and wrapped it, given the number of "::Simple" modules on CPAN. (362 distributions with "Simple" according to search.cpan.org) I don't think he deserves public scorn in response to a reasonable question and reasonable objections to suggestions. -- David
