HaloO, one nifty thing could be negation propagation in chained comparisons: ($a ne $b ne $c) === !($a eq $b || $b eq $c). This again insures some sanity if any of $a, $b or $c are junctions. BTW, the boolean connectives &&, || and ^^ shouldn't be auto-threaded through junctions. Regards, TSa.

Hi all. I've enjoyed(?) reading over the February/March thread entitled "Musings on operator overloading". I've brought a few thoughts along; if they're old news, please tell me where to do more reading on it :). Over the last year or two, I've discovered XPath. I've always thought XML a
