ker, but that looks *very* suspect to me. Some compilers
may choose to reorder even without optimization turned on. I'd say that it
is a bug in Parrot if it requires optimization to be off for this code - how
many different compilers have you tried?

quot; operator. You still haven't "returned the array".
So then in fact it is impossible to return an array - yes? You can
either return a single scalar or a list. The closest you can come to
returning an array as an entity is to return a reference to it - \@a.
Have I got that straight?

more benefit than avoiding a few inline bit
twiddles.
I think a range of alternative implementation mechanisms needs to be
benchmarked very carefully on a range of architectures before making a
choice. The one thing that is certain about cache behaviour is that it
is very difficult to predict without actually trying stuff out.

l, or that it can't be done
Amen. A switch statement in the core gets my vote too.

vast majority who don't want it - at the very least every variable
access will have to check an 'are you typed' flag.

FORMATS{lines_left} vs $-
Hmm - I quite like this. I'd like it even more if they were package
scoped and/or localisable. My choice of warning level in my package
shouldn't affect your choice in your package.

Is it sufficiently more useful than:
$x = 0; map $x += $_, @list;
?

voice an opinion. I want a language
that makes my life easy, rather than one that makes the compiler writers
life easy. Perl is about the best fit I have found so far. For
something that is not a 'real' programming language it seems to have
been remarkably successful so far.

et rid of the $ symbol except for

References to... err... hashes and arrays? How does that constitute an
improvement? Personally I like all the line noise characters, to
paraphrase Slartybartfast, I think they give perl a lovely baroque
feel...

coming development process should not be underestimated.

thing I am looking at). What other language allows such poetry as
"@{$hash}{@keys} = @values"? I humbly submit that perl without the
perlisms is not perl.
