I dare say no one should want to work in Perl anymore... It's such a horrible mishmash of a lanugage. But C is probably not the best tool for this job either. Python has modules for handling e-mail and for talking to bugzilla, and for my money it's way, way nicer to code in than Perl. C++, FWIW, has much nicer string manipulation than C, and if you really want to write it in C you'll probably be better off writing it in C++ just for that--and write the rest of your code like C. FWIW it took me a while to warm up to C++ (it's very featureful and large lexicographically) but it was well worth learning, and now I think you should not write code in pure C any longer unless you're writing a kernel or similar where you really need that level of control over the code that's generated. I'd really love to see Mutt-2.0 rewritten in C++ from the ground up... <ducking> =8^) -- Derek D.
