No thanks. It's far too easy to write unreadable code in Perl and I like a challenge :) Seriously - this is a self-evaluating string, not code for landing a $1bn rocket on Mars. Do you expect it to be readable? I don't. However, I definitely find a certain elegance to it. -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
