   You know... the original poster has a point...

   After all, Perl programmers have been known to "use Curses", as
well as hex(), bless(), and sin().  (Which might lead him to believe
that Perl programmers will eventually pack() their belongings, split()
from their families , and join an isolated community where there is
nothing to do but study() until you die() (or your mind goes
"pop()"!).

   Coincidence?  (I think so!)

   (Wow... Python advocacy has really taken a bizarre turn lately...)
