That's why I want try for big programs. Pragmatically, that works better there. That's why I don't want it for simple scipts; pragmatically, they work fine. Theoretically (as opposed to pragmatically--not that I'm anti-benefits-from-theory, for I think Goedel's cool too), software doesn't work, we just get away with it.

You guys work this is out, and show the sample code for modules that want to handle both interfaces, based on my previous examples (it's not too hard, just something with grep { ... } @FATAL_LIST). I'll let you know if I have any problem ;-) Yours, &c, Tony Olekshy
