Ok, so what you're saying is that they're solving for exactly the same thing, but you don't like the Java implementation. Cool, I just wanted to see if I understood what a trait was. Interfaces are a great feature, IMHO, and if Perl 6 can implement them (as Larry suggests) in an even more flexible and well integrated way (via roles), I'm all for it. -- Aaron Sherman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Senior Systems Engineer and Toolsmith "It's the sound of a satellite saying, 'get me down!'" -Shriekback
