Allowing some form of lazy RA> list to add values at will seems a bit counter to me. But if @Cabal RA> think it's okay to have lazy junctions, I won't argue with them. lazy only when you can actually cheat IMO. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ uri@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.stemsystems.com --Perl Consulting, Stem Development, Systems Architecture, Design and Coding- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ---------------------------- http://jobs.perl.orgThread Previous | Thread Next
