Just one thing: You say PHP supports anonymous subroutines, but sadly it doesn't.

    It doesn't quite have the same flexibility as perl's anonymous subs but there is an equivalent in PHP 
    <?php
  $f = create_function('$s', 'echo "got: $s";');
  $f("a string");
?>

__output__

got: a string

    So we have an anonymous function but unfortunately it is isn't totally orthogonal with normal functions in PHP.

      Aha. Well, although i can only see this as quite ugly (especially compared to Perl), it is in fact an anonymous function. Thanks
