If one presumes that Parrot is going to be so much nicer than the current Perl internals that many more people will be interested in it, then maybe it makes sense to make names as readable as possible, even if they are not what Perl historically used. I propose, for example, "intval" for IV and "floatval" for NV. -- Paul Prescod, ActiveState __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
