It also felt like cheating, or something, so I stopped using it. I will have to try this Python business.Hermitagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526192542331220475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479972171301319265.post-30809872747435362512009-04-16T16:18:00.000-04:002009-04-16T16:18:00.000-04:00I don't doubt that Perl is more useful that I've s...I don't doubt that Perl is more useful that I've so far found it to be.
