If I recall correctly, which I probably don't, there was a question at YAPC::Europe (or maybe it was the Perl 6 Mini::Conference) as to what the shorter array would return. The answer, from Larry or Damian, was that it might return undef or maybe it would keep returning its last value. Is that sufficiently vague? -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net
