If you want different behavior, use the appropriate data structure: a tree instead of a hash. Unfortunately, Perl 6 doesn't currently have any tree data structures in its core. There is a Map, which is what some other languages call their tree-based structures, but in Perl 6 it's an immutable hash structure instead. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
