Re: Re: Noble DOT vs the Allmighty ARROW

A quick thought but the dot is hardly unique to C. I wouldnt be suprised to discover it actually comes from ALGOL which (iirc) is higher up in both C and PASCAL's family trees.

Even if it isnt, it certainly has been part of PASCAL, Modula-2, C, C++, JAVA, VB and a whole host of other languages.

OTOH, I dont think ill like doing

my $s=sub{};
$s.();

Hmm, come to think of it what will be the syntax for dereferencing a CODE ref? The above cant be right can it?
