Re^2: Commercial perl software?

UBB at least up to early v6 releases (I didn't follow it any further) is also the biggest heap of trash I've ever seen. Allegedly some new guys that came on board around that time worked on getting it cleaner, but nowadays it has largely been eclipsed by vBulletin (written in PHP) anyway.

Makeshifts last the longest.

Hey, I didn't say that it was well-written, just that it sold quite well. ;o) It was one of the best known forums available at one time, although the freeware, shareware and open source alternatives have eclipsed it since then. The most popular of these is probably phpBB, although you're likely right about vBulletin being the most popular commercial forum. __________ "Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work." -- (Author Unknown)	[reply]
