there are: flag x + flag r + the output produced by r + is somewhat strange, but may be good enough. In your case, it shows difference between *$a* and *$a^*: the former is: Xdol (a*) () () Xmark () () Xword () () () Xconc (*) () () rc: null list in concatenation (guess `Xdol (a*)' means `dereference variable a*' (preasumably empty), which is in turn Xconc()atenated with literal `*' and thus the error) the later is Xdol (a) () () (*) () Xmark (name) () (*) () Xword () (name) () (*) () Xconc (*) (name) () (*) () Xconc (*name) (*) () -- dexen deVries [[[↓][→]]] For example, if the first thing in the file is: <?kzy irefvba="1.0" rapbqvat="ebg13"?> an XML parser will recognize that the document is stored in the traditional ROT13 encoding.
