note kappa There're two syntaxes proposed in the Apocalypse 12. <code>$elf does Thief</code> make that very <code>$elf</code> a <code>Thief</code>. And <code>$elf but Theif</code> creates a cloned elf which becomes a <code>Thief</code>. I eagerly await writing something like: <code> my $parser = new XML::Parser but Simple; # or my $mail = new MIME but Lite; </code> :) 384858 385027
