But, C++ with STL allows most of the data constructs that PERL allows (just not the RE and modules. <sigh>)


Or if it did, it is so damn picky and wordy and painful to get from point A to point B it is just not worth it.

Note: Boost libs have REGEXP but it pretty much sucks. At least a dozen lines of error prone C++ code for every line of Perl code.

<sigh back>

Ahh, screw it. I'll do the best I can until something better comes along.
