Speaking of string turning into numbers ... It's bothered me that I can write 100_000 in my perl code, but if I have a string "100_000" it'll evaluate to 100 when numerified. It would be really weird if "10indigo" became 10i, "1e3foobar" became 1000, and "10_000" became 10 in Perl 6 IMHO. -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff [EMAIL PROTECTED]
