[ paraphrased from a LWN letter to the editor ] Regarding the note posted here last week about Perl development stopping cuz Larry can't figure out any more characters to place after the '$' character (to create "special" things) ... Note that Larry became interested in Unicode a few years ago... Note that Perl now supports Unicode throughout... *including* variable names... Coincidence? I think not! $\uAB56 = 1; :-) Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
