One of the cool ramifications of having real multidimensional arrays just hit me. We could do something like:
my GD @array : size(200,200), colordepth(24), format('PNG'); and then treat @array as an image, with each element in the array representing a pixel. The stringified version of the array would then probably be the image data as written to disk. I suppose the full-variable 'assign string' vtable entry could do the opposite--take the image data and stuff it into the variable so you could treat it as an array. Hmmm. That could be rather interesting... :) -- Dan --------------------------------------"it's like this"------------------- Dan Sugalski even samurai [EMAIL PROTECTED] have teddy bears and even teddy bears get drunk
