$ perl5.10.0 -E 'say bless []' main=ARRAY(0x8c56880) If it's not specced in Perl 6, Perl 5 behaviour is used... Actually I think that the idea of printing a class name (or <anon> or something like that for anonymous classes) and a pointer address isn't all that bad, because it gives some basic information, and reminds the programmer that he either shouldn't print it, or define an overload method. A fatal error seem too strong to me... Anyway, a spec would still be nice. Moritz -- Moritz Lenz http://perlgeek.de/ | http://perl-6.de/ | http://sudokugarden.de/
