no need for int. perl coerces numbers to strings and vice versa on
demand. int is actually used to truncate the fraction off of a float,
not to convert a string to a number.
G> That got it. Thank you Steve and Uri.
you never posted the code that was bothering you. it would be helpful to
us and yourself to post it. your quoted error made no sense to me given
what you also said.
thanx,
uri
