VSTRING provides dynamic strings and char* compatibility and also Perl-like arrays, hashes and regexp objects. The dynamic string object can be freely exchanged with standard char* type, so there is no need to change function calls nor the implementation when you change from char* to String (and vice versa). The main difference from other similar libs is that the dynamic string class has no visible methods (except operators) so you will use it as a plain char* but it will expand/shrink as neede
Perl is a family of high-level, general-purpose, and dynamically interpreted programming languages. It borrows some syntax from C, Unix Shells, and AWK or SED, and more or less reinvented modern regular expressions. Perl 5 is the current mainstream version, with over 20 years of development. CPAN provides a modular packaging system, and allows Perl to be used for web applications, graphics programming, networking, system adminstration, and many sciency applications.
