Re: Re: Re: Starting foreach at an arbitrary position

I think what he meant was that the LHS can't be a lexical variable.

Well, once you put that little splat on the left hand side, it won't be a lexical. You may be right. I took the "method" he was explaining as an answer to the original question rather than an explanation of aliasing in general. FWIW, I considered the possibility that you suggest and didn't think it was the case. I won't pretend to know though. :-) -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply]
