They are equivalent for plain code. *But* C<.local> was already used for local labels inside macros of assembler.pl - so is it now - and it was used for declaring variables in imcc. $ perldoc imcc/docs/macros.pod That means C<.sym> is the only way to declare a variable inside a macro. When we have the external macro preprocessor, we can easily get rid of that ambuigity. leo
