Um, this is a tiny little diversion here prompted by something that came up
on perl-beginners, of all places... it's not possible in perl 5 to make a
reference to an array or hash slice without doing some copying. It would
be nice if perl 6 made that possible. Maybe it already does and I haven't
grokked that from the exegeses yet.
That's it. We now return you to the Clinton discussion ("it depends what
the meaning of 'is' is...")
