I'm sure it does. My perl (from 5 years ago) may be considered verbose (or not, I don't know). I avoid shortcuts like $_, use strict mode, etc. Then again I frequently use short forms like "statement if/unless (blah);" when appropriate. So there's a big personal component in there. But again, the interesting thing to me isn't what could one do, it's what are people actually doing in the real world? -- Edward Elliott UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall) complangpython at eddeye dot net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
