right, but we're talking about idioms here. I feel kinda empty sometimes
because I can't use 'no' the same way I can use 'use' when it comes to
versioning. not to mention that it seems awfully snobbish (well, this is
perl ;) to assume that the next version of something is the most important
aspect of the software, especially as apache, mod_perl, and perl all go into
major syntax and behavior revisions...

I started poking around toke.c and the pp stuff, but all of that is way
