"like" is beautiful for old-style regex matching, but I find it confusing for the new smart abilities: $var like Class:Foo # $var is instance of Class:Foo $item like %hash # %hash{$item} is true $digit like (0..10) # $digit is in 0..10 range @array1 like @array2 # array intersection $num like &f # f($num) is true All this ones fit more with the concept of "mystical analogy" hinted by =~ than with the plain similarity that one would expect from "like" Oh, and =~ looks much more intimidating, which is good, given its.. err.. power. -angel
