Could be implemented and tested in a couple of hours. Yup, but it gets a little tricky unless you either add it to the users symbol table (at the cost of an extra if statement per function call). Or you set it as a global variable (no real speed cost unless you use it). Otherwise you would need to reconstruct the function argument stack... I already have implemented it with just adding a $AUTOLOAD (or whatever) variable to the global (or local) symbol table... -Sterling
