Further woes, arguments, questions: In regards to <@array>, A5 says "A leading @ matches like a bare array..." but this is an over-generalization. A leading '@' merely indicates the rule is found in an array. <@array[3]> would be the same as <$fourth_element_of_array>, assuming those two values are identical. Next, about <before RULE> and <after RULE>. What is the justification for that syntax? There is no other example of a <-sequence with whitespace, at least that I can see. It would appear "RULE" is an argument of sorts to the 'before' and 'after' rules, but how do they access that argument? How do I write a rule that takes an argument? -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan % How can we ever be the sold short or RPI Acacia Brother #734 % the cheated, we who for every service http://japhy.perlmonk.org/ % have long ago been overpaid? http://www.perlmonks.org/ % -- Meister EckhartThread Previous | Thread Next
