Thank you very much for answering.

Actually... I know you guys here are used to get practical tha t need practical, "what to do" questions, but my question is not one of them... :-) Currently I'm much more interested in the theoretical side of the stuff: you have a programming language, which is really very well optimalized for the common case, f.e. the archetypical 
 
while (<>) {
    split /;/

programs, which I consider really wonderful and a masterwork of reality-based programming language design. And besides you have a user interface library that totally does not reflect this philosophy. Based on the above example, Perl should have a message function, which if supplied no arguments, then throws a message box of an empty title, a text of $_ , and a button of OK. See my point? That would be perlish.

This is a big contradiction, and I simply don't understand why.

Thanxalot again,

Shenpen
