I don't like _foo_ names. Once you shart having things with underscores, it's only a matter of time before someone decides that _foo, foo_, _foo, __foo, ___foo, and __foo__ should all have something specific to say about what the foo is. __LINE__, __PACKAGE__, etcetera are fine with me (although I do use CLASS.pm to be able to type CLASS and get something that often eq __PACKAGE__), but I wouldn't like other uses of underscores for important things in the core language. > On the sixth hand, by that argument, since .dispatcher is aiming at > a Class, it should be an uppercase C<>. :-) Doesn't unicode have that, then? :) Juerd
