$perldoc POSIX malloc malloc() is C-specific. Perl does memory manage ment transparently. siglongjmp siglongjmp() is C-specific: use the die entry in the perlfunc manpage instead. ...etc etc unless you plan to write Perl extension in C, you probably don't have to worry about those. pick up a couple of c books if you want to learn about them. david -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
