Yeah, the Interpolat module wasn't as good as what it looked like from the examples. It just does a few tricks with hashes, and seems to be directed towards maintainin string formats more than actually doing heavy linkage.

I think that what I was looking for is a new data state. Something that would cascade through whatever assignments had been done before. My numeric example was probably the best way to demonstrate. Come to think of it, cascade sounds like a cool name. Imagine it:
cascade $n = 1;
my $m = $n*2;
my $o = $m*2;
my $s = "$n $m $o\n";

print $s;

$n = 2;
print $s;
^d
1 2 4
2 4 8

now would THAT be cool? Does anyone know if there a perl ideas/wishlist somewhere?
