In general I am leary of the 'fast cut' - where we use the @_ and $_[$index] tricks - probably because I am concerned about the side effects should we have to handle a signal interrupt in the process.... but so far I have not been able to prove my point in code... so my complements on this! a reasonably elegant solution that avoids the need for temporary variables. ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
