Damian is one of the smartest guys you'll ever hear speak (his book "Perl Best Practices", for one, is worth it's weight in classrooms - er, something like that). It's not that you're wrong or that the argument that the sigil switch isn't useful, it's just not going to be that way in P6. There are many (as many?) folks happy about this as there are folks, like you, who think we're losing clarity. Both have arguments and, as it happens, both arguments have proponents in the design of Perl committee (sometimes known as "@larry" ;-); only, for now, the sigil constancy crowd has one. Maybe in P7 they'll've regained their sigils, er, senses. -- a Andy Bach, afb...@gmail.com 608 658-1890 cell 608 261-5738 wk
