I just realized that goto sub is a better framework for implementing such things, anyway:
I don't think goto sub can really be described as a framework... Or if it can may I start describing if() as a decision support system too?

Yup, OK.But why are you showing us this stuff? Who is it for? I'd have thought that anyone who was interested would have already read HOP and/or worked it out for themselves.
Who on this mailing list do you believe is interested in your investigations?
Oh and I can't believe you've only skimmed HOP - it's a superb book that should be mandatory reading if this is an area you're interested in.so was the textbook in Lisp class.
I'm surprised it covered Perl. -- Andy Armstrong, hexten.net
