Well, the alternative would be to have an explicit compiler variable like @?SLURPY, but maybe using @_ for that is more parsimonious. : btw, is ?@ legal in a signature? It's not specifically mentioned in : A/S04, but it makes sense it would be allowed along with ?%. Certainly. The zone markers are as orthogonal to sigils as we can make 'em. Though I'm not sure we've given a meaning to *&foo yet. I suppose that would have to mean that the next slurpy parameter has to be a sub ref. Larry
