The problem with Readonly et al. is that it is not a standard module. I have worked in places that do not allow anything but standard modules on their servers; they too afraid that other modules may contain malware. Because of this, I am reluctant to recommend it; it is not always available. Aside from that, it is a true constant : you can use it anywhere you can use a variable. -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn Believe in the Gods but row away from the rocks. -- ancient Hindu proverb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
