This shows the problem with Borland and arrays.  The following code outputs

char[5]
const char*

I'm not sure how you get around this, though.

Cheers

#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>

template <typename T>
void print_helper_t(T const & t)
{
   std::cout << typeid(T).name() << std::endl << typeid(t).name() << 
std::endl;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
char Hello[5] = {'H','e','l','l','o'};
   print_helper_t(Hello);
   return 0;
}
