Without such features it'll be a real mess I think tests on multiple platforms is very well achieved by the CPAN testers http://cpantesters.org/ though you might be right that core perl is tested on more platforms than the CPAN modules. With that said, I am almost sure that's still bigger than the number of platforms a Python is tested on. I would be very interested in testing reports of Python and PyPi libraries so I can update my blog entries about that. > (When I've read Gabor's recent question regarding reading a file in modern > Perl, my first reaction was: WTF ?) What was the WTF about? The syntax of the core open() function, the syntax of the things I was suggesting, the fact that fopen() is not core, the whole issue of having various ways or something else? regards Gabor _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
