Yes, this needs to be redesigned completely.

There's little need for us to port bad things to Perl 6. Peoplo who really want or need to use them can, and we should concentrate on creating something that's GOOD for new code. This said, I do think it'd be wise to document changes in accessible tables. -- korajn salutojn, juerd waalboer: perl hacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://juerd.nl/sig> convolution: ict solutions and consultancy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
