Go for it Agent Smith. My idea came from Quantum::Superpositions, and I thought that a 34kb module with a hint of Damian was a little bit of an overkill for these functions :-) You're right its not very obscured. That was an after thought.
You're response also made me think of something: the Matrix had to be written in Perl. I mean, which other language's gliches would result in deja vu?
