One of the professors at the university i attend tells his Programming Theory class "Perl is a 'write-only' language" and they (basically) should avoid it. He then proceedes to teach them PHP ... (subtext: some folks just don't get it) I say this. "Sure, Perl is <insert complaint of day>!" And then i go back to getting lots of stuff done with Perl. Anything from silly scripts that amuse me to full blown mod_perl database front-ends.On the "sub-note", i think the book you mention is very excellent. You should also tear apart CPAN modules to see how they solve the problem of developing reusable code. I have not read samtregar's new book ($) , but i imagine it will be worth the money (and then some for newbies). jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)
