Subject: make rand_enum() more DWIM?
More than once I've written: my $value = rand_enum([qw/ a b c d e f /]); Forgetting the set => How about making rand_enum() more DWIM'ish? If there's a single argument and it's an arrayref, then take that as the set. Cheers, Neil

I am not opposedd to this at all. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a suggestion to make things more DWIMmy that I wouldn't agree with. ;-> If you have a patch with a test, I'd be happy to merge it in.
