makes sense to me (and certainly adds some spice to the cause of tuples instead of arrays :-). you should also consider the case TUPLE1 + 5 which should return (a1 + 5, a2 + 5, ... , an + 5). what do you do if TUPLE1 and TUPLE2 are of different length? changing subject again... how is tuple storage implemented? do they contain only integers (or whatever), or is the base type definable? I ask this because I thought it would be nice to have a 4-tuple of type char. this will nicely represent an IP address, for example (or do we need an ipaddr.pmc? ;-). cheers, Aldo __END__ $_=q,just perl,,s, , another ,,s,$, hacker,,print;
