Your post contains the word "barewood" three times without once using the word that perl really outputs for this error, which is "bareword". If you're really seeing "barewood" then you have somehow got a corrupted perl executable or seriously malfunctioning computer and I would stop using both of them until you can get them analyzed and fixed. -- Peter Scott http://www.perlmedic.com/ http://www.perldebugged.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
