The trickier version of the same question is when both sides of the '+++' are variables: $y=$x+++$z That's when you need to know that parsing is done left to right, so the above will be evaluated as '($x++)+$z' & NOT '$x+(++$z)' (since both are valid syntactically). Again, to stress it, this is not a recommended coding method & I would not go near it. It's merely an exercise in semantics & should be read in that context! -Nilanjan _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
