Or do I simply misunderstand? I'm not sure I see the problem. Actually for several reasons. Firstly, `in` doesn't permit arbitrary operators. Only `eq`, `==`, or anything custom registered with XS::Parse::Infix that says it is an equality operator (thus permitting `equ` and `===`). It would not permit `<` or even `=~`. Secondly I don't at all follow what you mean about "be the RHS of the op" here. Can you explain it some more? -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Previous | Thread Next
