Mathematica question

Hi everyone,

I want to define an N-dimensional definite integral in mathematica.
(It's going to be a numerical integration rather than symbolic.)

Eg,

compute integral of f(x) dx

where x can be an N-vector. I don't want to have to specify N in the
definition (although obviously before evaluating the integral, I'll
specify N). I can't think how to define the range of integration in a
neat way in the general case. Eg if the variables are x_{1},
x_{2}, ... x_{N}, how can I specify that the integration range is
(say) R^{N}?

Something like

NIntegrate[ f(x), {x_{1}, -inf, inf}, {x_{2}, -inf, inf}, ..., {x_{N},
-inf, inf} ]

is what I want - but you can't put in the dots obviously...

There must be a neat way to do this. Anyone know it?

Cheers,
MF
