True, but these are things that have not changed function since Perl version 2, and I've been around since then. :) The fact that Perl doesn't use /bin/sh for system(), exec(), `backticks`, or pipe-open when they are simple enough is a very cool fact. And I like promoting that fact. Save forks(). Use Perl. :) -- Randal L.
