IIRC the two places where $^X breaks are: * VMS * something obscure about symlinks FWIW, I use $^X. I mostly use it in tests. eg ... http://search.cpan.org/src/DCANTRELL/Data-Compare-1.21/t/taint.t and have the test skip on VMS. IIRC the other places I've used it are for code that doesn't (yet) work on VMS anyway. -- David Cantrell | top google result for "topless karaoke murders" If you have received this email in error, please add some nutmeg and egg whites, whisk, and place in a warm oven for 40 minutes.
