Yes well, my point is if you want to make a piece of code incomprehensible, I don't think there is a language that will stop you. I had a colleague who used to argue "that code was hard to write, it should be hard to read too!" -- completely forgetting the poor sod that had to come behind him and maintain his code. It's a choice of the writer to write code that's hard to understand. Perl is a very expressive language, and can be used to write very clean and maintainable code. I think the "there's no right way" mantra helps: it allows you the latitude to choose the style that makes the most sense for the problem being solved. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
