I hadn't seen your node as that thread happened while I was away on holiday watching madmen race motorcycles on the Isle of Man :-)

I find reverse useful in a lot of situations and have advocated it's use before. What I particularly like is the way you can apply it in both list and scalar contexts, the latter to reverse a string. I use both in this post.

Perl is just full of amazing tools. I love it.
