Thanks, Liz, Perl 6 certainly has a lot of new and neat features for strings! My first attempts at the moment are to translate my common Perl 5 usage as painlessly as possible. (There is a HUGE amount of new stuff I hope to absorb as I get more comfortable with the immediate Perl 5ish translation first And I Iook forward to "Perl 6 Best Practices.") Best, -Tom
