haaaaaaaaaaa... why so many people are talking about Perl? I never understood this language lol j/k

I agree, even the people who wrote it have given up and started again for version 6!

Perl is more powerfull than JScript and VBScript in my opinion thats why i it

They are all Turing Complete, so none is more powerful than any of the others, and you could write a Perl interpretter in JScript and then use that.

In fact I think it may be possible to spawn your own scripting engine from within a script, so you could still write in Perl and just have a small JavaScript wrapper (although Patchou can stop this if he wants)

ginge, you're absolutly right... I just hope that you'll be willing to put your knowledge in contribution for Messenger Plus! scripts when the Alpha version comes out... of course, this is if you're willing to accept being a beta tester

You mistook (is that even a word, and how you spell it  ) alot of posts by reisyboy about perl to be alot of people talkign about perl 

1. I know you've been concerned on the security. I'd like to add: Scripts to be run on event should always be set manually.

2. Before releasing, try to write a worm with the MsgPlus Scripting platform. I hope nobody can.

3. Is there any way to interface Perl and C/C++ with VBScript/JScript/WSH? Is there a common layer for the three? DDE, maybe?

COM I suppose... I'm sure there mut be a way in Perl to use COM.

COM works fine with Perl (PerlScript), but WSH is just COM + a scripting engine bundled in a nice package, so may be more convenient.

2) I will try , it depends what you class as "security risk".

hm...maybe you could set up a place where pple can actively upload and download these mods...well most likely has been suggested...im just too lazy to read all the posts... hehe
