Like almost always when you get a bee in your bonnet you start going overboard.
Lots of us can do almost anything in ksh ... would it be nice if we had the time and inclination to do more in perl?
Going down the path of proclaiming one scripting environment is better than another is a pretty good way to waste a lot of time but boring ... very very boring. Received on Thu Jan 21 2010 - 18:09:14 CST
