Err, and what is sub foo { &bar; &bash } sub bash { builtin } sub bar { another_builtin} If that isn't dynamic words, what is it? Let alone sub foo { bar sub { ... } } sub bar { &{$_[0]} } I don't see how a TIL stands in the way of getting all this done. The TIL is simply the mechanism for dispatching the ops. Were Perl5 used the C inner loop, the TIL could have a tighter asm loop, or even direct machine calls. <chaim> -- Chaim Frenkel Nonlinear Knowledge, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1-718-236-0183
