>> Not sure whether it's enough of an answer, but see: >> http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/design/syn/S04.html#Statement_parsing it says: if $term ($x) # syntax error (two terms in a row) if this cause an error, why not treat '$term ($x)' as a function call. At least when $term is not some abstract variable but valid name of simple function. -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Andrew, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________________________
