In fact, this sort of approach is what appeals to me about the language: simple, straightfowards ways of accomplishing tasks. It seems to me that this is why you can accompilish so much in so few lines of code with PHP. Not to mention the learning curve is much more friendly. By contrast, you have to jump through all kinds of hoops in Perl (various modules, etc.) just to get basic web functionality, which drives me absolutely bezerk. There's no reason things need to be that complex. I'd become pretty frustrated with PHP if it just became another Perl in this regard. There's enough words in the english language. Keep them in the same namespace. :) - Scott
