I'm not at all sure - I peeked at the url - thanks, good resource - so was this meant as Joke??? or a what we called in the fleet 'pub drill'.... No sooner had I figured out what I would use to provide a proof of concept for your basic query here - and started this email - I did the click on the relevant button to find the specific illustration of the code.... So either you are pulling our leg, or have not tried it, or there is something I ain't getting - but if: http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/lang/Perl/Beginners/listOhRefsBinding.txt helps show that in theory if what you put into the hash is of the type of object that it is expecting, I can't see why not.... All of which leaves me scritching my head as to why that would be a case of 'dynamic variable declaration'???? ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
