I meant in the sense that the language designers feel no need or interest in making an effort to make such applications possible or convenient. C++ explicitly aims to provide direct access to the system internals; Perl explicitly aims to make it easy to glue up system utilities into compact scripts. Java and Python, respectively, are not very concerned about facilitating such applications. -- Jason _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
