Re: Prototypes allow overloading subs?

Greetings,

Mmmhhhh...
Not the java way for sure. If anything, I'd go the python way:

def foo(one,two=None,*args,**kwargs) :
    pass

So I can say:

 foo(1)
 foo(1,2)
 foo(two=3,one=4,'fubar',three=42)

While perl's way may be too free form sometimes, trying to work around - for instance - C# idea of not allowing default values for arguments is a royal pain in the backend.
Cheers,
alf
