    Now profile information is an array , and stored as a string  where  each element is sperated by a space .

    Are you going to keep this way of storing profile infromation ? Or are you going to change it to a more dynamic one (maybe also using IniFiles Module ) ...

    I ask this question because I want to add a lot of custom profile information , like average ppm , random partyline quote , ...
    But chosing a new element in the array for each of that would make the stored pts.profile incompatible with future versions of PTS , also if I wanted to store a random partyline quote for each user , that wouldn't be possible cause there would be spaces in that string ?

    Offcourse If you would use something like IniFiles.pm to store profile data , that would generate much larger files , I don't know if that would be a big problem or not ...

      I'm NOT going to release a new major version of the current pts series.
      So don't care about that *I* change the format of the profile information.

      Anyone else want to do the development?
