Then again, the same is technically true of C++. Speakingless abstractly, Perl simply offers a different style of programming,one that is English-like in its complexity and number of idioms and lackof a generalizable rulebase. It also uses lots of punctuation in ameaningful manner. Perl got started as a combined replacement forsimple C programs and complex awk/sed/shell scripts. It was intended tobe easy to learn for people who already knew those programming systems,and to a certain extent it succeeds.But because of its embrace-and-extend philosophy of language design(instead of pushing much of its feature set into modules), it has neededto endure countless contortions in order to add each new feature.-- --- Aahz <*> (Copyright 2001 byaahz at pobox.com)Androgynous poly kinky vanilla queer het Pythonistahttp://www.rahul.net/aahz/Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6"If we had some ham, we could have ham & eggs, if we had some eggs." --RH
