I do not see C as an enemy as I think it occupies an entirely different problem space, however Java is exactly in the area where Perl is excellent, imho, ymmv, idrciyd Greg [1] Than C and Pascal at least [2] And I'm not joking. -- Greg McCarroll http://www.mccarroll.org.uk/~gem/ jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Umm. To quote a certain bunch of stereotyped scoursers on a p[opular comedy show Calm down I'm hoping that we can have a a sensible discussion about programming languages without resulting to personal digs because, well, WE'RE NOT F*CKING 14 ANYMORE. Play nice children, and do try to get along. Otherwise we're no better than Java programmers. [0] Simon [0] he says, working on the "Give everybodsy a common enemy and they'll get along school of management" [1] [1] And by the way, it was a joke. [2] [2] And yes I am actually a Java programmer. [3] [3] Well, I was untila bout a month ago.
