What, as opposed to C<grep> or C<map> or C<splice> or C<qr> or C<flock> or C<ref> or C<fork> or C<chomp> or C<crypt> or C<getservent> or C<ucfirst> or C<lstat> or C<vec> or...? ;-)
I keep thinking C<sift> would be nice, or maybe C<discrim>. Just a thought...
C<sift> is quite good. Though I still like C<part> best. Damian
