note Anonymous Monk > As for Win32, check out Strawberry Perl. To be honest, what he REALLY wants is Chocolate Perl. For a while now, it's been my intention that we have... Vanilla Perl - Experimentation Strawberry Perl - Perl people that don't know Windows. Chocolate Perl - Windows people that don't know Perl Having a viable Chocolate Perl is the big pay day, because with the cornucopia of CPAN behind it we are in a position to create a high profile scripting language for doing Windows sysadmin and utility programming that doesn't rely on Microsoft, that won't change unexpectedly, that doesn't cost anything, and that you can whip up a quick solution to your problem even with nothing but Notepad. That would be exciting! 676072 676207 5
