Have you actually done any work with XSLT? Nope, but see this Kuro5hin.org article on XSLT, which is the reason I don't bother at all. Have you actually written dynamic webpages in PHP . . . Yes, I keep knocking my head against it's limitations. . . . or written OO code in Python or Ruby? Yes. They're both cleaner than Perl OO. How much text processing have you done with awk/sed/etc? Hardly bother to use them, since Perl does what I want. Note that I was very careful with the wording of each of those statements. PHP is simpler than Perl. Python/Ruby OO is cleaner. Sed/awk/grep/etc. are more specific to text processing. And XSLT is arguably superior (though I wouldn't make that argument myself, clearly somebody thinks it's better (even if they're PHBs) or it wouldn't exist). These are very specific statements of overall "goodness". What I didn't say was that they were all absolutely superior. Particularly in PHP's case. It is simplier, and that's preciely why I don't like it. Update: Speeling mistake. Thanks tilly. ---- Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated In reply to Re: Re^2: perl's forte
