I also wanted to say that Perl and Sendmail (don't know about DTML) suffer much more from poor design than from feature creep. It isn't just about quantity of features -- quality also matters. The group of people who spent a week arguing about the name "zip" would never allow "eval" to mean "evaluate string" and "catch exceptions" nor make unadorned variable name mean "file handle" nor make :0:c a "command". Common Lisp and Linux are victims of feature creep. Perl and Sendmail just suck. -- Paul Prescod - Not encumbered by corporate consensus New from Computer Associates: "Software that can 'think', sold by marketers who choose not to."
