Uh.
What kind of signature? What does that mean?
If it's Perl 6,
sub ($param1, *$otherparams)
Is nothing special: it takes two parameters. Did you mean
sub ($param1, [EMAIL PROTECTED])
In which case, if it's prototyped, we stuff everything besides the
first parameter into a PMC representing @otherparams.
And if you meant something else, can't help ya.
