I've heard about this mythical perl6 thingy. Wasn't that the project Larry was going to write apocalypses about first, one for every chapter of the Camel? With 4 apocalypses in 1.5 years, 20 something chapters in the Camel, I'm not to focussed on perl6. Let's deal with things that exist. Like perl5. Perl 5.8 certainly isn't marking 'for' as deprecated, so it won't disappear any sooner than 5.12. BTW, if Larry is going to rename 'for' to 'loop', then he plans to keep it around. Doesn't sound deprecated at all to me..... Abigail
