New experiences often seem obscure. I don't think a person LEARNING the language can safely deem something obscure. They might not understand it, nor its purpose, but that doesn't make it so. Unless obscurity is more subjective than I tend to think it is. I think push me, away; each to_his_own; is obscure. I don't think $[ tricks are obscure. But that's me. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
