Perl is a wonderful ragbag which includes everything (kitchen sink too). Personally, I prefer something compact, with an elegant design philosophy behind it, that can be extended gracefully, is readable and can be analyzed by tools. That includes Java but is arguable for C++. What about Smalltalk, Self, Eifel, Prolog, Lisp, Occam, M, Object Pascal, Oberon, etc? While I might write a Web site in Perl, I'd prefer avionics and banking to be in something a little more trustworthy. -- Peter Lancashire Information Systems Specialist, Bayer plc Eastern Way, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP32 7AH, UK Tel: +44-1635-562258, Fax: +44-1635-562281 Mail: Peter.Lancashire.PL1@bayer.co.uk --- My Internet plumbing does not allow me to mail and post news together.
