Requests like this give me a mighty twitch o the eyeball. To help my (somewhat fragile) sanity, if you have ideas about changing PGAS, please do not just post something that begins with 'PGAS should...'. Instead, here are three steps that I propose people take to change PGAS: 1) Rather than posting 'PGAS should...', frame it as a question, 'Should PGAS...?'. If two or more other beings (human or alien) express interest in your idea, continue on to step 2. 2) Attempt to implement your idea via the PGAS web service. If this is not viable, proceed to step 3. 3) Download PGAS and set it up. Implement your ideas. Submit the patch to me. I don't mean to sound harsh, but in order for me to sustain my involvement with Perl Golf, I need to set some boundaries on what I can and cannot do with my time. --Dave
