Which cause[s|d] so much confusion when porting 32-bit code to 64-bit architecture If perl6 variable decorations switch from Part-Of-The-Name to type casts, pretending that a reference is a string continues to make the same amount of sense as pretending that a pointer to a structure is an integer. It works, but it's troublesome. -- David Nicol 816.235.1187 [EMAIL PROTECTED] all your base are belong to us, Will Robinson
