What I suggested is very similar to memoization. Only you don't cache the result of a function based on passed values. You cache the optimized code based on passed types * see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation Hence the "slow" checking only happens at call time. (of course you'll need kind of type of inference deduce implied types inside a sub) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice} *) and global states like `bigint`	[reply] [d/l]
