   Well I certainly can't disagree with you there. (and I'm someone who 
can almost always find a way to disagree)  I'm no big fan of Python; any 
language in which whitespace is a syntactic element rubs me the wrong 
way.  But Perl still looks like line noise to me.  What a nasty, 
disgusting language.
