But how is the caller supposed to know to do that? Remember, I plan to get the 'printstuff' function by saying: find_lex P0, "printstuff" As far as the caller knows, the function it's calling could have a signature like func (thing1, thing2, *morethings) or like func (*lotsofparamshere) That's the problem with being unprototyped :-) How will Perl6 deal with anonymous subs with slurpy params? And while we're at it, how will it deal with anonymous subs with named params? That one's even harder ;-) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
