Hi,
any good reason why Perl shouldn't allow
length($a) = 5;
? I was kinda suprised when it didn't work.
I had a quick go at implementing it but I can't even get perl to accept
length() as an lvalue sub (although miniperl will - why?). It looks like
it'll take more than my cargo cult effort.
Any chance of seeing this in the next version?
