snipYeah, I was originally going to have arrays that I joined to make scalars that I was going to put into the regex, but I got lazy 'cause I'm sick (I was also going to list all of the days and months, but again, too tired). Scarily enough, it still works (they are arrays with only one element so the join with $" has no effect during interpolation), but its incredibly sloppy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
