I agree, the sub should not have to know it's been curried. (For instance, it would certainly call itself assuming its full signature.) It would be a violation of "excapsulation" to require the sub to know how it's being used. Context dependencies should generally be optional, not forced--anything beyond simple scalar/list dependencies should probably be the province of explicit calls to want() and caller(). (Which calls are likely to pessimize various optimizations.) Larry
