what is this prototyping of which you speak (Score:1)

I thought you meant function prototyping as in
perlsub:

Perl supports a very limited kind
of compile-time argument checking
using function prototyping. If
you declare

sub mypush (\@@)

then "mypush()" takes arguments
exactly like "push()" does.

But it is the prototyping which you either ship
or throwaway.

I like that you can learn from your
mistakes. Doing things right is doing
the right thing. Doing things wrong is
education.
