in thread Should we bother to save hash lookups for performance?

Oh, I wasn't just being facetious. :) I meant that you can use for in Perl like you use with in Pascal. Larry himself called for a "topicalizer". I love it for that use, too. I'll even use it as an expression modifier to topicalize a variable for a single expression like I said in my previous reply on this thread.

Makeshifts last the longest.
