I like this one in preference to plain ^+, but (unless I'm missing something) it still leaves the question of what to do with xor. > @a '[+] @b Doesn't this reinvent the $Package'symbol problem? > The * has obvious mnemonic value of the splat sort, but also mentally clashes > with the notion of multiplication when using mathematical ops inside. Hmm. @a *[+] @b @a *[*] @b @a *[**] @b I think I could cope, if only because the brackets highlight the vectorised operator more than the outside symbol. How about tilde? @a ~[+] @b If I'm successfully playing along at home, I think that means the match operator has to be ~~ or =~, but I can live happily with either of those. -- Aaron Crane * GBdirect Ltd. http://training.gbdirect.co.uk/course/perl/
