I disagree with the portability aspect. perl with the standard modules is much more portable then whatever C++ code one can write. Thinking about the problems we have with C++ code in other projects (eg xetex) to get compiled on everything from old solaris to whatever, I honestly prefer Perl. But not that I have anything to say ;-))) Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREINING, Norbert http://www.preining.info JAIST, Japan TeX Live & Debian Developer DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
