The script would run just as well on Linux as it would on windows. [...] This is not only true since now or since quake but also sicne the early days of Sierra On-Line games / Lucasmfilm Games. All their games were built on a particular Scripting Engine. For Lucasfilm, this was SCUMM[tm] and for Sierra it was SCI (Sierra Creative Interpreter). This is why those games also run nowadays on Linux (see http://freesci.linuxgames.com/ ). Ok now this is hell Offtopic ;-) But, yes, gtk+ rocks. And, for me, I removed perl and also use now PHP as my day to day scripting language. Its behaviour of hashes is much more intuitive for me than perl's way (every used nested hashes ? you're getting crazy doing so :). But, after all maybe i'm just too dump for perl then. But hey its ok :) I've much joy and fun working with PHP :-) cheers, Markus
