Hhmm, so, I'm sitting here looking at your question and my obvious answer, and I think maybe I'm seeing the point you maybe were trying to get me to see.....the $$ prototype isn't really a limitation, it's just a declaration of how many scalar arguments a function takes, like a <cmp> function, for example...or perhaps it's late and I'm thinking a bit too hard on this one.....

UPDATE:

OK, so I was thinking too hard...apparently it seems my original notions about prototypes making functions less generic is shared by quite a few of you out there. Well, this goes fantastic with one of my other recent posts, lol, especially related to planetscape's "brain fart" reply, which this last reply of mine most definitely seems to qualify as..*turns red* ;P

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
