Say it isn't so, Larry! It isn't so. The SFOC installation scripts are written in perl. The SFOC servers startup and teardown scripts are in perl. Some of the Cognizant Design Engineers are starting to be cognizant of perl, and using it to massage some of their data. One of the applications programs is even written in perl. But the "core" is all written in C. Ya can't have everything... :-) : Just another Perl Hacker, I'm hacking another perl too. ;-) Larry Wall lwall@jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov
