The compiler toolkit does a lot of concatenation in order to generate the PIR that ultimately gets compiled. The POST compiler converts each POST::Op node into the appropriate PIR statement (a string), and concatenates these strings together to produce the final PIR output. So I suspect it's worth looking into. Pm _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
