I use it for ccMail control tasks on an NT4 box.

I'm thinking ... I'm thinking ... A while back I would have said GREP, but
Dave Cuny did pattern.e and that's been helpful more than once. His Ox tool
I'm still looking at but haven't done anything with.

I suppose, given how little time I spend on PCs these days and how much
more I spend on Macintoshes, it would be great to have a Macintosh version,
if not for Systems 7 through 9, then at least for Mac OS X. It can be done:
there's Perl and there's MacPerl; why not Euphoria and MacEuphoria?

That brings me around to Perl. It has a documentation standard. I can run
Shuck (a Macintosh program) and read all the POD documentation plus whatever
POD has been embedded in whatever .pl and .pm files I might download. I can
output to HTML with the various POD2whatever translators. There is no, so
far as I know, documentation standard for Euphoria. For me that's an issue.

And then there's CPAN-shell...
