Perl Features in order of Importance

2002-08-02 Thread drieux



volks,

here's a really DUMB question

but I consider perl's "hash" to be one of
the two or three critical features - the
other one is clearly the RegEx stuff that
allow you the power of sed/awk but without
having to fork the child to do that...

the question then of course is whether the
ability to gin up packages is the next most
important - or closure - with regards to
a well reasoned variable scoping solution

I don't think such top-tens are good for anything, but this is mine:

1. the comunity
2. the comunity

then for a very log time nothing
and then

3. the comunity

P.S.: I think flat namespace is simply stup... too simplistic.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain
I can't find it.
