Though, "now" has an action-like ring to it, even though it's not truly a verb. "NOW this var is this value" Even some other action verbs, like "assign", "put", "place", and so on have less of an action content, to me. As for this: $/ = "\n" for now; That is English-like, but no more that the leading version, and very odd, even for Perl. I'm pretty sure I prefer the shorter, more consistent leading way: my $bob = 'jim'; our $stuff = 'this'; { now $stuff = 'that'; } Seems to flow really well, in my opinion. -Nate
