Or how should that work?
Oops. Severe lack of coffee on my side. But OTOH I can imagine that finally standard modules are present in Parrot that do the right thing. E.g. in Python import os would import a Parrot module that wraps these functions to Parrot. So basically, when you have: os.setsid() # Python POSIX::setsid(); # Perl these two functions would be the same, living in some Parrot lib and aliased to the language's equivalent. So the import or use syntax shouldn't be changed just to accomodate Parrot's namespace internals. > jens leo
