If you do gnuplot, it is absolutely necessary, all the best features have been deprecated for years. However I oppose a /usr/bin/ruby for standards, it is better to put in a perl alias in the startup scripts or specify it in the she-bang (#!/opt/perlNNN) ... why ?? The above mentioned gnuplot problem as well as a much more serious problem w/ perl. Perl 5.5.3 is the only industry accepted stable version. Perl.com thru oreilly and active state have been pushing bad versions, they are infact resorting to a nerumerology formula to predice the next stable release. Perl6 stability will become an advocacy issue, with democracy at the middle of it. ===== John van Vlaanderen ############################################# # CXN, Inc.
