Are you sure? Did you try it? I did ;-) > I don't think perl will use the program > stack for the regex engine. There are only a handful of experts on perl's RE engine, and I'm not one of them, but I do know that the engine uses a number of C functions, and each time one of them is called stack space is required. Try running your program with perl inside a debugger and getting a stack trace of where is crashes. (This will be more interesting with a perl built with debugging information.) -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
