BTW: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musket) The date of the origin of muskets remains unknown, but they are mentioned as early as the late 15th century, and they were primarily designed for use by infantry. Muskets became obsolete by the middle of the 19th century, as rifles superseded them. Muskets are not shotguns. -- Christopher Mattern Which one you figure tracked us?

Mr. Lee's posts are regularly riddled with severe errors (I found the assertion that LWP::Simple and LWP::UserAgent aren't part of the standard base perl install a particularly amusing one in this particular post). Please be advised that you should get your perl information from accurate sources. http://learn.perl.org is an excellent place to start, with pointers to excellent Perl books and even some readable for free online (notably Beginning Perl). -- Christopher Mattern Which one you figure tracked us?

Xah Lee wrote: Perl does not support classes or objects in the so-called Object Oriented programing. Boy, the ignorance never stops, does it?
