well, of course - we wouldn't leave broken code laying around just for fun. the issue really is how important you think it is to be stable, and exactly what that means. to me, this means you dont' introduce changes you aren't very sure about. as I said in an earlier post, I am personally very unsure about whether allowing all those PV variants is a good idea, simply because I have no idea how every one of them is generated, or whether it is reasonable to assume that dereferencing _every_ variant results in a printable scalar. if you (or rafael or anybody) is more comfortable with all the ramifications because you understand it more completely than I do, just say so - it's no big deal, lots of people know more than I do. that's the benefit of open source, after all - more people bring more experiences, perspectives, and knowledge to the table. --Geoff -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
