Perl is very nice for really elaborate pattern matching. I don't do that much. Most internet protocols, for example, are really easy to parse... -- Aaron Watters === If you reread your text, you will find upon rereading and editting your text that much repetition and redundancy can be removed when you look through your text for repeated ideas, upon reviewing your text. -- attribution lost
