Hmmm ... languages without pointers shouldn't segfault, should they? And yet, yesterday, through the wee hours and into today I've managed to accidentally make perl segfault dozens of times. I think you may be right. Unless you're speaking of not trusting women, then I don't really know. (It's amazing how quickly a sloppily written perl script can eat up 384M of RAM, 700M of swap and fall over dead!
