See, that's the thing about Perl right there: nobody ever applied a
sensible limit to its options. <0.1 wink>

Actually, if I were the shooting type, you wouldn't be the first Perl-er

p.s.  Did I mention that I first caught onto Python when I read
"Advanced Perl Programming"?  IIRC, one of the author's footnotes says
something like "But Python is my favorite OO scripting language".  So if
you want to continue to use Perl, I'd recommend you do so mainly so you
can write books about it. <wink>
