Why is it that "Me" is *mouthing off*, but you're not? Why is that?
What makes you so *special*? The fact you wrote a Perl book?!
A book with more typographical errors than it has pages? *Zut!*
"Me" may be s/wrong/clueless/... but I don't think any one of you
has actually understood what he/she is talking about. "Me" is at
least one level of abstraction higher than all of the rebuttals that
have been fired back in this thread.
That's why "Me" mentioned *wavelength* in a previous post...
That being said - I am not disgreeing with s/you/Sam/Peter/etc/...
mySQL...together with *PHP4 and Zend*...is the only way to go!
Right or wrong, "Me" or *you* for that matter...has the same right
to post to this list...Otherwise, it should be a private list, perhaps:
>"Larry Wall, Damian and the Acolytes of Doom debating Perl6"
or...
>"Just how much $foo can dance on the head of a dot operator"
Is that you really want? "Why can't we (cough...) just get along?"
Think about it (for a change...).
Now for something *completely* different...

If you want to know who he (or she!) is, pls send me email off-list.
Hint: "Me" might just be the first two letters in "their" family name...
Example: "Me----"
Or, maybe not...
