in thread Boolean::all gone?

I had never heard of it. Although I tend to avoid Ingy's modules. Inline::C is great, but some of his other modules do weird things that sometimes reach out and bite you.

I don't think true Boolean types are high up on anyone's list of things Perl needs. Most people seem to get by with truth. 0 (zero) and the empty string ('') are false, everything else is true. That seems to have worked pretty well for the past 20 years :)

    I can relate to that. If I had to nominate the "most useful non-CORE module", it would be Inline::C.

    I look at his other efforts ... and then realise that Inline::C hasn't been updated in over 5 years (despite a growing list of bug reports) ... and I shake my head in disbelief.

    Cheers,
