PRESS RELEASE:  TipTop Software announces Web-Objective-Perl!
=============================================================

Bethesda, Maryland, March 11, 1996 --- Today TipTop Software announced
Web-Objective-Perl (WOPerl), a WebObjects add-on which seamlessly integrates
Perl into the WebObjects framework from NeXT Software, Inc.

WOPerl is based on Objective-Perl version 3.0, which is part of the
Objective-Framework system provided by TipTop Software; this exciting new
technology provides true language independence for the Objective-C (e.g.,
OpenStep) object model.  It enables developers to use the best language for
the task at hand, and also to seamlessly mix-and-match languages.

"WOPerl extends the NeXT WebObjects framework so that it can be programmed
in plain vanilla Perl" said Pedja Bogdanovich, President of TipTop Software.
 "This allows web-masters to use WebObjects without the need to learn any
of the OpenStep object model, WebScript, the Objective-C language, or even
the `Objective-' part of Objective-Perl!  By using WOPerl developers can
leverage the power of the Perl programming language, and all
already-existing Perl code.  WOPerl complements WebObjects beautifully, and
provides the power needed to use WebObjects effectively."

WOPerl also allows developers to use the full power of Objective-Perl to
define classes, categories, and methods in Perl.  Objective-C,
Objective-Perl, and even WebScript code can be freely mixed.

WOPerl is scheduled to ship in early Q2 1996.  An early experience version
of WOPerl is available now.  Take a look at http://www.tiptop.com/WOPerl/.
