One quarter-serious response: No, but then again, you could ask yourself: "Is there anything at all that perl can do better than assembler?" To many people, the syntax of Perl resembles that of assembler. Actually, I'm kidding here, but if you substituted "C" or "Teco" for "assembler", you'd be on the mark. Can anyone give a really cogent reason for using Perl instead of C? ************************************************************************ When you touch yourself, the saints cry.
