I think I did too much talking :-) I'm not going to be giving a presentation anytime real soon, but maybe someday. I wrote those modules more than 2 years ago and I don't fully know totally how they work anymore. I need to study them someday and write up some documentation on them. I do use them every day. Usually dozens of times per day. The best one does a pretty good multi-field search of flat text file databases with 2,000,000+ records. Many different Perl scripts call it, and it has this line: my (undef, $filename, undef) = caller; # Store calling filename for later processing (i.e. "noprint" and "wpdbs") to determine the calling program and do different things for different calling programs. Pretty basic stuff. There is a lot of math in the thing, and a fair bit of logic. It is about 300 lines longs. I thought I only wrote one module, but I just found 2 others. I use them and forget about them :-) They must be fairly good. > > > You would think with all the Perl stuff I do I would > > use more modules.
