RE: Have you read this?

Well, Hans.  If you want it so bad, why don't you help out.  The hardest is
done.  All the other little things aren't so bad.

Perl has been around a long time, runs on different platforms, and works
with different DBs.  The CGI stuff for the AS/400 hasn't.  You're comparing
Apples to Kiwi fruit.  Also, why don't you show me how "easy" it is in Perl
to get data from an AS/400 Db.  Or, get the boys at the RPG developement lab
to make some %bifs for this stuff.

You're not depressing me, but the AS/400 world has to learn you may have to
do some of the work yourself (the wrappers I have are a darn good start).
Someone had to write those Perl modules.

We're not up against anyone on a different architecture and db model.  And
AS/400 is NOT a PC, and thank God for that. 

Take care,

Brad
