Hello all: Apologies for the confusion this has caused. I sent in my patch without realizing Chas. had already sent an alternative patch. There was some discussion regarding Chas.' proposal and it grew into something much more significant. Since Renée Bäcker had already pointed out the duplicate nature of my proposal, I figured that was it and assumed it would be ignored. On the other hand, I do see some value in there being a simple one line entry for $# as new programmers trying to find documentation for $#ary may still check perlvar.pod without thinking about looking at a section titled "Names that are no longer special". Apologies for the confusion. Sinan On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 8:35 AM, Chas.
