It's good to see your perl improving Hal ;-) That is pretty close to a
legal line of perl, you just have your bracketing a little confused.  Is
this what you were trying to do?

#!/usr/bin/env perl

*{&{*{&{* #$%*_^#$(&^%$)#&^%_^%_@^_#*$^&_(#%^@_%^+!@$^_%^_#^
i='think'}}='bill'}}=\'great';

print "I think that Bill is $bruford\n";

sub think { 'that' };
sub bill { 'bruford' };

__END__

Hope this helps,

Mike

(sorry for the OT post :-)
