Well, the "messy" aspects of Perl are there by design... remember the motto: "there's more than one way to do it". Perl is a very expressive language, and I find its multitude of different ways to do things quite adapted to the different ways one thinks of the things to do. There may be good things to say of Tcl, but I'll leave them to someone else... my experience with the language amounted to trying to learn the basics and thinking "ugh, I'd rather do Perl." -- Roger Espel Llima, espel@llaic.u-clermont1.fr http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/espel/index.html
