Of course you're right.

I was thinking of the situation where the prototyping of print (which is the prototyping I meant, not the prototyping of stat) where it treats a function call as a filehandle. I know I've been nailed by that one before. (Although annoyingly i cant think of an example at the minute. Anybody knows of one please post it for the record)

Oh and thanks, I had forgotten the + trick.
