My guess was that it would behave as if handed a list. So: for @foo -> $bar, $baz { when /something/ { ... } } would do a "match if any($bar,$baz) =~ /something/". If this were the case and defaulting constructs used topic, they might get a list instead of a scalar, from time to time. Interesting... Allison
