I can think of "@ar .= 'foo'" doing something--or not. But that's all not really useful. Setting the length (or better elements) of an array is a totally different thing then "P0 = I0". Its C<elements P0, I0> *if* we have a dedicated opcode/vtable for it or its just C<P0.elements(I0)> i.e. a method. This is the same madness as defining C<S0 += S1> as concatenate or even worse. The C<$len = @ar> semantics of Perl arrays aren't really Parrot's semantics. It's a Perl language thingy IMHO to emit "len = elements ar". leo
