->Â @cp makes about as much sense as subÂ(@cp).  C<outer> returns a
list of array references, right?  So it binds each one to @cp (the right
of -> is a subroutine parameter list, remember?).

That's why it's a non-ascii operator.  But I agree, there's really no
need for an operator here.

It doesn't.  You probably noticed by my numerous replys fixing the
numerous bugs in that code.
