in thread How to "fake" web browser from Perl

I miss a lot of points Mad Hatter, so I may have been completely off-base here. My point, though, was that however good the MIT system is (I have never seen or used it), that IMHO information, especially about Perl, is going to be better using a system dedicated to Perl rather than any Natural Language system. To me START is still canned information and not as useful or as up-to-date as answers from real live people.

As for the 'inferior system' crack, that was simply sarcasm that obviously fell flat. I apologize to anyone who was offended in any way.

Perl has one Great Advantage and one Great Disadvantage:

It is very easy to write a complex and powerful program in three lines of code.

    Ah. Of course a system dedicated to a topic (especially by live people) will be better than one that tries to deal with multiple topics, but I don't think anyone suggested or indicated that MIT's START was going to be used for just Perl questions. : )
