Hi Listers, we can't use my with a typeglob because typeglobs are part of the symbol table and my stores things on a scratchpad, which is entirely separate from the symbol table. my *symbol = *other_symbol However, I want to explain this error message to my class and I don't know what it means, exactly: "Can't declare ref-to-typeglob cast in my..." I couldn't find this error in the Camel book. What exactly does it mean? What ref is involved here? Is 'ref' mentioned because a typeglob is strangely related to a ref, or because it is a ref? I understand that I should use local with a typeglob, and I understand why I'm getting an error, but what does this error message mean, exactly? Thanks in advance, muchly David _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activeperl
