If you say see L for more information then it's expanded to "see the Foo::Bar manpage for more information". This is fine mot of the time, but can occasionally lead to the kind of weirdness that you describe above. Dave...
Odd idiom
Why do people say "inherits from the Foo::Bar manpage" and not "Foo::Bar module/class"? I mean, how can something inherit from a lump of documentation? Is this one of those klutz kult phenomenon or something I'm not "in" on? :) Paul
Grammar -> Class creation
Are there modules/frameworks that exist to create classes from a grammar spec (e.g. EBNF)? Restating, I'm envisaging something where the input is a grammar and the output is a class or set of classes that provides parsing capabilities and validating accessor methods. Immediate application is feeding the PDF spec (which admittedly doesn't quite exist in EBNF) and having something I can programmatically generate PDF from. PDF::* isn't terribly capable at anything and the two sets of authors haven't rev'ed it for a while and Text::PDF::* has almost no documentation (= useless, IMO). Paul (PS Any ideas why autoformat creates that gap on line 2?)

I'll add those to the todo/toget list for the real visit: thank you.

A sign at Barcelona airport says that "passengers to GB and Netherlands will have all dairy products removed on arrival" or something like that (the English version was rather worn away by people who have to point at words). I bought non-milk xocolate with my remaining pesetas. -- Chris Benson
