Remember that the higher level (eg perl6) will expect to be able to find the PMC afterwards. For example: $foo = "abc"; $bar = \$foo; print $$bar; $foo = 3; print $$bar; Under perl 5, this will print abc3, as the reference stays intact following the re-assignment to $foo. Assuming that this will stay the same for perl 6, we must either keep the original PMC address, or find and correct all references to it. -- Peter Gibbs EmKel Systems
