LOL! That's fantastic! We _must_ put it on dev.perl.org. I can't help myself but to correct it, though :-) The shiftoids: >> , << , >>= , and <<= are actually spelled +>> , +<< , +>>= , and +<<= . You're of course missing many textaveries. We'll just call them "undiscovered." What you call "adverbial", ":", should actually be named "everything else" :-). The "derefables", &{â}, &{â}, @{â}, and ${â} don't actually exist. They are actually contextegens, &(â), %(â), @(â), and $(â), and let's not forget ::(â). The quotables probably shouldn't be written, e.g. q(â), since parentheses are no longer valid delimiters. You're missing "zip" (the operator is  ), though I don't know what class that falls in. What do the numbers in the upper-right mean? This is great stuff. :-) Luke
