Hmm, I can't get [user-defined array indexes][1] working, and those are a prerequisite for mixing subscripts (you can't mix normal and user-defined indexes if you can't create user-defined indexes). I took a quick look at the tests and couldn't even find a test for user-defined array indexes. [1] : http://perlcabal.org/syn/S09.html#User-defined_array_indexing -- Chas. Owens wonkden.net The most important skill a programmer can have is the ability to read.
