Well, this would definitely be a very neat feature, I hope Larry Wall is reading this list and is already cracking on the new Telepathy::Simple :) What I meant however was something along the lines of my ($var1, $var2, $var3... arbitrary number of vars) = 1, which obviously doesn't work, but I hoped it's only due to my lack of syntax knowledge.
