Because '\' . 'x' . '2' . 'F' is not the same as "\x2F". Certain character sequences have meaning when they are included in a double quoted string, but that does not mean that the characters have the meaning in and of themselves. It is the act of putting them in a double quoted string that gives them their meaning. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
