You don't have to allocate variables for the values that you don't need, so in your case this might be sufficient: my ($sec, $min, $hour) = localtime; If you need $isdst but not the date ones, you can use: my ($sec, $min, $hour, undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, $isdst) = localtime; (pity, an (undef)x5 doesn't work) Variant: my ($sec, $min, $hour, $isdst) = (localtime)[0..2, 8]; -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
