Would you mind explaining this to someone who does not know anything about Perl?

Good one.

Syntactically, in Perl (at least as of 5.8), I don't think you can have array references like A(X,Y,Z). Actually, you can, but the resulting value will be a list! Of course, you can use the arrow operator (->), but I suspect most MUMPS programmers would find it ugly.

That being said, a DBI::MUMPS driver is an interesting idea.

Or "Where's the perl DBI::MUMPS" driver?
