A parser does exactly that -- it parses.

I don't really see your point. We just make every pdb call print out its own parameters: pdbfunction(2, 3, 400); Possibly with some variables as well (such as drawables etc.). XML won't really make a difference in the complexity of this. > In my illusion at least making tags from events and the > way back should be simpler... The problem with Perl is the parsing step, not the recording step. We already have well-working code for parsing/running Perl. /* Steinar */
