I figured it out reading the HTML docs.
I'm don't know exactly how ActiveState is set up, but in general the HTML docs (say at http://perldoc.perl.org/) should always be available in a terminal via perldoc. Obviously, most people now have internet access at all times, and many people probably prefer to read online, but I find quick lookups (and searches) in the terminal often save time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
