Re: Perl and Oracle Designer

I suggest you fix the root of the problem and force people to use a single standard. Perferably one that makes everyone equally unhappy. Remember: Its all but impossible to please everyone, but its quite easy to get everyone pissed off.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.

I suggest you fix the root of the problem and force people to use a single standard. And on that day, Satan will luge to work. Would that I could. Let me just say that the reason these people are in charge of STANDARDS is that they cannot be trusted with code. In fact, I'm not sure they could be trusted with snake control in Ireland. Really, the problem isn't the single standard in and of itself (though it does show that the wild west days are long gone). A lot of the problem is that 1) a new tub-thumping paradigm will cause their STANDARDS to shift, or 2) the documentation is so thick (over 200 pages so far) that it's impossible to catch everything. It's a human issue, but I am dealing with drones, not humans. Amongst realistic solutions, the least bad right now is to have a tool that does this for me. -- tbone1 Ain't enough 'O's in 'stoopid' to describe that guy. - Dave "the King" Wilson	[reply]
