Gah! That's what I get for using comments! ;-)
Darn right, stop that! Code is hard to write, it should be hard to read, too! ;-)

That's what I like about perl.
Anyway, I'm aware that slice is not a function, just surprised that neither the concept nor the syntax seems to get any treatment in either Nutshell 1st Ed. or Cookbook 2nd Ed.. (I don't own the Camel, just went straight from the Llama to Nutshell. Thought I was saving money at the time.)
Well, according to the bleeeeeeeeding edge Perl 5.8.4-rc2 docs:
<http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.4-RC2/pod/ perldata.pod#Slices>
Thanks for the pointer, merlyn.
So, I'm wondering about that version number. 5.8.1 is still the latest stable Perl, right?
