That is pretty much the long and short of it. I wouldn't recommend using prototypes unless you meet these three criteria: 1. You don't do OO 2. All of your subs are included from modules 3. You want to do nifty stuff like "my_push @a1 @a2" instead of "my_push \@a1 @a2". In general I think prototypes are were an interesting experiment that taught Larry et al some valuable lessons. I have lots of hope that Perl 6 will fix the problems (and not introduce new ones). -- Today is Pungenday the 35th day of Discord in the YOLD 3168 Frink!
