IIRC, Larry wants to be able to distinguish method calls from sub calls, so that when you see 'foo()' inside a method, you know that it's NOT using $?SELF. If you want to call a method, either use an explicit self, or use './method'. (As a side note, putting space between the sub/method name and the call parentheses is now disallowed. If you must have the space, you need to use '.()'.) Stuart
