That doesn't work, since () in list context does not enforce scalar context. It's exactly equivalent to say zip @odd, @even; which is also wrong, because zip is requires "multidimentional slice" syntax. Ordinary commas will be taken to separate items of the first slice. To separate slices requires semicolon or pipes. : Does &zip now interleave two array refs instead : of flattened arrays? No, but separating the arrays with comma doesn't work either, so Pugs currently has it wrong. The correct syntax will eventually be: zip(@odd; @even) zip @odd <== @even The parens are required only at the top statement level. Inside other bracketing structures you can omit the parens: (zip @odd; @even) just as in subscripts the semicolon separates multiple dimensions: @[EMAIL PROTECTED]; @b] Larry
