It also has better support for named captures, so the example above can be expressed fine without the comments showing which numbered variable goes with which capture. ---- I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident. -- Schemer `: () { :\|:& };:` Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated	[reply] [d/l] [select]
