Why are you worried about competition?
If you set up a shop, do you worry about competition? Of
course. I am using this script to set up a web site and I
know that the person is considering setting up a very
similar site. I just don't need the competition!
If you are afraid someone is going to steal your ideas, get over it.
If it was worth something you would either patent it or not share it.
This program does not use a unique idea, therefore a patent wouldn't be granted. Nor
could I afford the fees. That is a completely unplausible option for this.
And yes, C is going to need many more lines of code because C does not handle
text processing very well. This doesn't make it a bad language. I'm all for knowing
several languages. I don't really mind how many lines of code the C is. It's likely
to be longer than normal anyway as it's machine-generated. The fact is that it is not even
compiling. The reason why I don't want to re-write the script in C or anything like that is
because I find C programming extremely tedious, and I already have a brilliant working version
of the program in Perl.
Thanks for your suggestion about embedding the interpreter. Any more technical details on how to do this?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
