Thanks Luke. Your email made me think of another way of explaining the concept. Basically, what I'm suggesting is that certain common types of exceptions could be handled in-place, instead of having to write exception handlers. Perl5 already does some things like this, e.g. undefs become empty strings and zeros when needed. I'm just suggesting formalizing the process more so that custom in-place exception handlers can be implemented. Does that make the "return what to do" concept a little more elegant? If not, feel free to work a Pygmalion with my Eliza Doolittle. -miko -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
