As Gary Clark II wrote: > Ok, we know that perl5 is a no go:) Not once and for all. Perhaps it would convince people more when i point out again that Perl4 proved to be _really buggy_ for me? It consistently dumped core for one of my scripts, while Perl5 didn't (but this *was* a Perl4 script!). Aren't there any chances to split Perl5, so to benefit from the new technology (and bugfixes), without bloating the base system too much? The remainder (like dynamic modules) could be split off into a port. -- 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. ;-)
