Well, we have three distinct 'it's for namespaces: the Parrot root, the HLL root, and the current. I view the HLL root as the main one for most purposes, and escaping the HLL root I model as escaping a Unix chroot (in rarity if not security), which is why I'm conformable with using interpinfo to get the global root. And of course the current namespace maps onto the Unix working dir for me. -- Chip Salzenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
