No and no. There are better ways than using a pipe. Pipes makes sense only when you need specific, standardized output processing. They do not make sense in cases where your program needs the results. In cases where your program needs the results, it is better to import the functionality than top export and re-import the data. If you feel you sorted.pl routine is solid enough to warrant using it from a variety of programs, then you should probably restructur it as sorted.pm, and include it with the use or require statement. Then you can call the sort function directly. Joseph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
