- When reaeding 'SAS compared to perl' an article of M. Haley (spelled
- correctly?) came to my mind; his articles are reprinted in a dutch
- computer magazine. He stated that for all administration tasks one
- should use REXX as it is the only one which is supported on all
- platforms.
-
- Now this person is quite biassed towards old fashioned (but proven)
- technology which is used in financial and administrative environments
- and I don't trust such statements a lot, but still I became curious
- about it. Is REXX something similar to perl, and if so how do they
- compare?
