Not to get too far off on a tangent, but I think the '1000\'s of users' he was referring to were the mailing list users. In any case, the point remains the same. Why bother proclaiming your dislike of a language on a list full of thousands of people using the language is not likely to accomplish anything more than another 'is not! is too!' kind of shouting match that noone really wants (but noone wants to lose).
On the other hand, Rob, if you have a specific problem that you are having creating a complicated data structure in Perl, it would be a good topic for a SEPARATE thread(this one should probably just die now, not with a bang but with a whimper). I would be interested in finding out what you had trouble with before I end up running into the same thing. -----Original Message----- From: david [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 4:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Why Perl kicks but!
