Indeed so; but the Perl and C++ usage is so ingrained that people are still instinctively trying to use it. So, it's time for a bigger hammer. First, I'm modifying pdd21 to remove all occurrences of "::". Second: Leo, in your copious free time (:-)) could you please tell me whether it's feasible to add a hack to the PIR compiler so that compiling namespace ops, with a literal string parameter containing "::" will throw a warning? I don't want a runtime warning, but a compile-time warning will avoid trouble. (It's possible that by 1.0 we'll be able to kill the warning, but I doubt it.) -- Chip Salzenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
