Oh. Nevermind. I see what you mean, now. Don't do printstuff(*params) , but just do printstuff(params) instead. I can't think of an example off the top of my head where this wouldn't work, but it will happen that people'll want to use variable-length parameter lists on unprototyped functions (like the anonymous perl6 slurpy function). Also, Ruby's 'print' works like this. So it will have to be dealt with. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
