Hello all,

While reading the Cookbook, I came across the following on page 357:

"If the value assigned to a typeglob is not a reference but itself another 
typeglob, then all types by that name are aliased.  The types aliased in a 
full typeglob assignment are scalar....and format."

I have used every globbed item except format...I've never even heard of 
format.

What's a format?  The Cookbook deals mostly with Perl 5.004; are formats 
deprecated?

Thanks,

Nathanael Kuipers
