Okay, here's the scoop. When an interpreter starts, P0 will have either NULL or a PerlArray with the arguments in it. P1 will be either NULL or have a PerlHash with the environment in it. If either should actually Do Magic on alteration, then the appropriate Magic PMC will be in there instead, though it'll still act as an array or hash, respectively. -- Dan
