Not sure if this has already been discussed, but I though this would be a cool option, especially since I've ran into a few cases where this would have been very usefull.
Using a scalar (string) with an address to another variable and be able to dereference it. This proves very usefull when pasing dynamic strings with addresses embeded in them. I don't believe this is available in current perl versions without writing XS. Or should this just be left for a module to handle. I thought this would be general enough to include in the CORE. Ilya
