well darned if you aren't right..

The syntax you used does exactly the same thing as a standard function definition, except it does it locally. By all rights, defining a function with a name should be syntactic sugar for assigning an anonymous subroutine to a typeglob. Apparently it isn't, and I missed it.

Bravo.. I stand corrected. And so does the article.
