A number of Perl's "features" are actually bugs that were discovered, found to be useful and have been documented and carefully preserved. One that springs to mind is that `s/.../.../ee` evaluates twice, `s/.../.../eee` evaluates thrice, etc. I have a feeling that the baby cart is one of these. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
