Thanks Dave, I will.

... this will be a longer read this evening. OO

On a side note: I was fascinated to learn (rediscover ?), that a call &sub without arguments has full access to the callers @_.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dump qw/pp dd/;


sub foo {
    warn pp \@_;
    push @_,@_+1
}

sub tst {
    &foo;
    &foo;
    &foo;
    warn pp \@_;
}

tst(1);
