You're correct - the last time I checked, Euphoria was not Perl.
The way I see it:
1. The only advantage to registering Euphoria is getting past the 300
line limit.
2. The only way Robert gets any money is through registrations.
3. Removing the line limit gets rid of any incentive to register.
I scratch my head and wonder what possible reason Robert would remove
the 300 line limit.
