Dear Paul, It was just a quickie 2 brain cell thought.

Perl with all the modules and it's wide spread usage is not limited.

How would you sum up what perl can or can not do in few words ?

Would you use perl for programming for NASA space shuttles ?

Have you ever read the warning's for Java usage ? Do these apply to Perl also ?

Half way to Mars -- you get a 500 error , what do you do ?

I suppose I should have said Perl is " The Swiss Army Chainsaw " .

But one mans rubbish is another mans gold.

Thanks

Kode
