What does this mean? Is the whole regex gonna be turned into an anonymous sub, or what? I find this whole "higher order function" thing nothing but butt ugly. Perl already has anonymous subs, which look far less confusing. If you want shorter syntax for "sub { ... }" and for $_[1] etc, I can understand that. But please please please do not make this thing look like an ordinary expression, when it is anything but! Obfuscation at its worst. -- Bart.
