Is it forbidden to use placeholder parameters in conjunction with "my"? Or would it simply not do anything useful? I ask because "Do what I mean" would seem to imply that 'my Dog $^foo' would specify $^foo's type as 'Dog'. Though if you start doing too much of that, you're almost certainly better off explicitly defining a signature. Also, how much trouble would we get in if we spelled the ubiquitous alias for a method's invocant as C< $^_ > instead of C< $self >? -- Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang
