Hi all,

I think I'm starting to grok it. While Perl does allow prototypes, it doesn't really enforce them and even in the cases where they aren't riddled with pitfalls (references) they can still trip up novices (me me ME!). Especially if one expects them to behave as they do in other languages.

Based on the Apocalypse, I think Perl6 functions will be much easier for C/Java based programmer to understand. I keep on getting twisted on C-like Perl looks, but how... well, non-C-like it acts.

Thanks again!
