In the specific case of Perl 5 and 6, aren't builtins in the same (Parrot) namespace as user-defined functions? In Perl 5, you can access builtins through the CORE:: (Perl) namespace, which certainly is visible to all Perl programs. Would there be some sort of namespace aliasing for this sort of thing (or the Microsoft naming scheme for C#/.Net Framework for that matter)? -- Aaron Sherman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Senior Systems Engineer and Perl Toolsmith http://www.ajs.com/~ajs/resume.html
