Note Submitter: el dot dodgero at gmail dot com Reason: integrated ---- To Keith Tyler: Sorry to have to disagree, but you're mixing your languages in your example there... you said: "In Perl, you can put an array at the end of the list, and it will pick up all remaining elements from the right hand of the assignment. ($val1,$val2,@others)=array("a","b","c","d","e") will result in $val1="a", $val2="b", and @others=("c","d","e")." Again, all apologies, but what you wanted to say in your perl example was: ($val1, $val2, @others) = ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'); Perl has no array() keyword at all, it has an at-sign instead.
