Right, "o" in your sentence above is the object. > if I'm following this right, it's the inferred object such that (in > p5) if I called I.hit(him) the sub would receive @_ = I, him; yes? Yep. > and thus it would be hit (him) <~ I; in the current thread? Yep. Henceforth, <~ shall be the "dragon operator", because (1) you're draggin' the object back to the method; and (2) operator:<~ looks like a chinese dragon.
