In my experience, people outside of the Perl community perceive /any/ Perl as obfuscated anyway. ;) I've heard people say that there are too many symbols for their comfort, even in regards to very clean programs with no brevity hacks... I think people fear Perl more than they fear C. :P That's probably what attracted me to Perl in the first place though: the "elitism" and potential brevity. Perl is obviously much more than that, but nevertheless I consider those features too. :) -- Brandon McCaig <http://www.bamccaig.com/> <bamcc...@gmail.com> V zrna gur orfg jvgu jung V fnl.
