Why does importing one object system into Perl core translate to 'TOOWTDI'? Saying "if you want you can use <premade thing> or any of <premade things on cpan> or roll your own" still seems very much TMTOWTDI to me. I feel by arguing along that line you're guiding discussion down along a path that is separate from the reality of the proposed actions. -- With regards, Christian WaldeThread Previous | Thread Next
