Aaaa, yet another meta... but... I really felt I should say this. Not trying to provoke anyone, but if you are very new to Perl, maybe this is not the list for you. Yes, a list doesn't always end up conforming to the stated intentions, and yes, this one has not yet converged on a personality, but I think everyone would agree that "Fun With Perl" implies a certain level of familiarity... Well, since I have started I might as well add that I think that benchmarking and discussing boring correct ways to code almost always isn't Fun. It's too much like work. Baroque, drunk at the wheel, possibly inefficient, possibly wrong code is almost always fun though... -- Tushar Samant ~ ~ :wq ==== Want to unsubscribe from this list?
