If you want readonlyness for a hash to mean that its values are also readonly (which, Nick, you made abundantly clear that you do), then how can it be anything but a misnomer and trap that readonly \%hash; not do that? As I and Scott have said, and to which you agreed, clamping and readonlyness are different animals. Shouldn't the way to invoke them, therefore, also be different? That they may be internally dealt with in similar manners is not something the user needs to be confused by. JeffreyThread Previous | Thread Next
