You ever notice how much criticism your read about what's "supposed" to be in this newsgroup from some guy who's never posted a line of the perl code? Reminds me of movie critics versus actors, especially when all the actors and the audience seem to enjoy the show, except for this one critic who doesn't even act and who keeps stomping his foot and complaining about it. He really doesn't have to stay and watch it if it bothers him all that much, and the rest of the audience could get back to the show. --tom

Comp.lang.perl is one of the good things about Usenet. No Eden without a serpent, I guess. :-) For what it's worth, I do think that the 6-part MAN emulator was a little too big for crossposting here; it might have been better in alt.sources or comp.sources.misc alone, with a pointer to it posted here. But I don't wish to sound ungrateful. -- +----------+ %\%\ Tom Neff | robotcat | \%\% tneff@bfmny0.BFM.COM +----------+ %\%\ uunet!bfmny0!tneff
