Concerning ActivePerl under Windows I don't know (I suppose the POSIX-Code didn't run under Windows? - maybe there is a Module from Activestate or on CPAN (http://search.cpan.org) ?) Apart from that, you have to check in your output producing code the current invocation "kind" (sorry for my bad english / see my previous answer) and produce the output accordingly. Eventually, you could produce the output in html and then use a module wich strips the text from the html for text output - not the most efficient way though. I think the best way depends also on the complexity of the html and on layout requirements of the plain text output. hope this helps a bit, otherwise somebody else could eventually provide some more specific help? grettings joe P.S.: I must admit that I'm not a specialist in platform independent code :-( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
