That's where the issus with the documentation starts. "what he says" This is going to be hard to document well. For example, *I* know why the leading zero is significant on ALT-0162, but how many people are going to assume that it's not? Anyone care to save to a file called AUX.TXT on Windows? And for anyone who says "upgrade", please note that many firms in the real world are still forcing a base perl version of 5.005_03 or 5.6.1 for development. Still. The active perl "community" is not wholly representitive of the global usage of perl, and would do well to remember this. For example, see http://use.perl.org/~barbie/journal/27098 Nicholas Clark
