Also, the readability of other peoples code was horrible. But the parsing expressions were useful and concise, and I see that Ubuntu commandline uses them. Perl, like C and Python and Tcl and dozens of other languages, was designed to solve about 6 programming problems out of at least 1000, and thus is lame. in 50 years of programming I've only seen a couple that are comprehensive, like PL/I and Java. 604499@blogcritics.org Sat, 23 Jun 2007 09:23:39 EDT
