Hey, everyone does it (or something like it), that's the only reason to call it elementary - because we manage to keep making the same mistakes and forgetting to check the obvious. You want to know how many times I've hunted down the bug that turned out to be typing #!/usr/bin/prel? Or leaving the semicolon out after use strict? A few days ago I thought I was so hot for reporting how perl cored when I accidentally typed perl -duse strict. Until Jarrko pointed out that this was using the -u flag. Doh. The help desk people who start by asking the user whether the machine is plugged in don't seem so deserving of scorn as they are usually portrayed... >but you are right, I should have been using -w Oh, you'd still have a problem on 5.004 (an even more perplexing error message). But at least then we'd be able to tell that you'd enabled warnings :-) Peter Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.perldebugged.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
