Ah, but my exact point is that the default *isn't* set immediately. The property is held until the sub is called. If the argument is passed, the default property is ignored. If it isn't set, only then is the default property used to set the value. That's why I don't think the property makes any sense except when used to define subroutine arguments. And then Damian said: > That's why we chose them for parameter defaulting as well. Ah well. Let's see how it plays in Peoria. -Miko -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
