Oh yeah, I trust the Perl Porters and everyone involved with CPAN totally, even with my children, if I had kids that is ;-) But maybe not with all my harddrives (gotta draw the line somewhere <G>). At any rate, I just saw a FEW posts in this thread, which, while they were wonderful ideas, they were trying to use systems for things that they were not intended for, when there are equivalent systems in existance, that just aren't entirely perl based, and I see nothing wrong with using these systems, in the roles that they were designed for, rather than trying to extend the role of a system in a less than optimal manner, you know?
