Actually, it might be nice to have a void type. It might seem useless: but then, so does /dev/null. An example, from another language, is C++ templates. Its amazing how often I find myself needing to create a template specialization for the void type, because I cannot declare/assign-to void variables in C++. Even if Perl won't have templates, we still tend to be quite dynamic with the code (code generators, eval, etc.). The ability to declare a variable of type-Void could be helpful to avoid special casing it in the generators. Dave.
