That's one of the explanation I hear too and I am sure strictness has advantages. Just as flexibility has. The other explanation is that people programming in Python usually arrive there with experience in programming while there are a lot of people writing Perl who don't have any previous experience in programming. They tend to copy-paste the first thing they find on the Internet which happens to be either a Perl 4 tutorial or Matt's Script Archive. That just perpetuates bad code. Gabor ps. That's what I am trying to break with the Perl Tutorial http://szabgab.com/perl_tutorial.html _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
