Right.  That is what I for one would appreciate knowing, especially wrt how it 
might influence a XML-RPC server and possible Windows perl clients to that 
server.  For instance my neighbour might decide to use a perl based client to 
the server on his win98 box, seeing he has already jumped through the hoops to 
get perl working on there.  :-)

For any{thing,one} else I'd imagine javascript would be the better choice wrt 
their web browser.  Still toying with that idea so I am not really sure about 
it all at this point in time.  On the surface, and from what I've played with 
so far, it seems like a good idea and worth further investigation.

That is what he was initially thinking.  Also he is highly resistant to 
upgrading his win98 box so that might be a good way to keep it current with the 
rest of the world, and perhaps even a step or a thousand ahead of the typical 
or standardized MS sheeple.  Heh, heh.

I've unintentionally created a monster over there.  :-/

 JC> i own stock :) so go ahead and buy buy buy! :)

Heh, heh.  Always a bright side eh?

Life is good,
Maurice
