Unsolicited Faxes and TheLinuxStore.com

[Mike Cantrell]

Wow, thanks for the info. It makes sense, I just havn't heard of anyone else
using it like that. I tried PHP for awhile and I liked it... it was very
elegant but I never went too far into it... I have too many other things I'd
rather learn first.


"although perl probably is more suitable for most tasks, use it to do
various things..."


That's probably true for now at least. It will be interesting to see what
happens when more libraries are written for it. I'd like to see where it's
at in a few years. Actually, I'd really like to see what Perl is like in a
few years as well. I like the idea of re-writting Perl 6 with C++.

Regards,
Mike Cantrell
