(Maybe expect, but I've seen PERL code that does the same thing). I don't know Tcl (very much), and people who know me also know that i'm rather a Perl bigot. Anyway, i think Tcl is good in what it has been intended for by Ousterhout: an embeddable language. Sure, Perl 5 also has a C interface, but i would probably stop using Perl for my project by the time being tempted to require such an interface. Likewise, i couldn't imagine to the least would ever be usefully done in Perl, but i think a Tcl scripting for some C framework can really do its thing. As one of the Joels wrote here, each language for what it has been designed for. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
