Actually, looking at the code for embedding more or less the same functionality in several languages is interesting: $ wc if_* 93 277 1845 if_perlsfio.c 1122 2854 26304 if_perl.xs 2623 7413 61998 if_python.c 840 2201 22425 if_ruby.c 2106 5821 48574 if_tcl.c So we see that Perl is at 1217 lines, Python is at 2623, Tcl is at 2106, and Ruby is at 840. Of course, the Perl .xs file gets expanded into much larger C code. -- Ned Konz currently: Stanwood, WA email: ned / bike-nomad.com homepage: http://bike-nomad.com
