I'm still somewhat ambivalent about this, myself. My previous experience with hyphens in identifiers is chiefly in languages that don't generally have algebraic expressions, e.g. LISP, XML, so it will take some getting used to in Perl. But at least in Perl's case the subtraction conflict is mitigated by the fact that many subtraction expressions will involve sigils; $x-$y can't possibly be a single identifier.
And multi-word-expressions without hitting the shift key! My RSI thanks you. -- Mark J. Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
