Also for user-friendliness... Keep in mind that lots of people have two-word last names (Dick Van Dyke), intersticial caps in their names (Matt LeBlanc and LaToya Jackson), apostrophes crammed in there (Conan O'Brien) and/or non-English letters in their names ...and boy, do people tend to get attached to these particular strings of characters, insisting on their names being spelled the way they like! -dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
