Touche. Darn it's difficult disagreeing with pithy people. :-) OK, would that notation ( @arr[] = $var ) be something that could be added by a module, in the same way that operators and /* */ will be addable? I don't know exactly what the syntax for adding /* */ will be, but if you can say to the preprocessor something like s#/*#=comment#g then perhaps you can also say something like s#\[\s*\]\s*=#binpush#g and then also define binpush as an operator. -Miko
