Yeah, it would have been much easier, but I just got it in my head that I should be able to do it THAT way and that it must be possible, so there it is. Now instead the of login code that I should have finished, I have this construct of dubious value.

The loop was just to show that the nested calls work and if for some reason you thought it was a good thing, that the remainder of the list was visible to any enclosing statements.

Like I said, I'll probably only using it for spitting out tables.

update
A lil example.

my @dictionary =(lots o words);
print start_table();
while(@words = elements(@dictionary, $columns)){
      print Tr(td([@words]));
}
print end_table();
