Well, I'm not "so" concerned (which to me implies some kind of fervour
that I don't think I stated). I was simply asking if there was a way to
iterate through integer values that I couldn't see in the POD - simple
so the designers could decide what to do with the integer - either
iterate from 1 to it, or print it out. Doing it in Perl tends to pre-
suppose one solution over the other. The designers don't really have
problems with loops - they've used H:T and TT, but I don't think they
want to learn Javascript.

Thanks

Dan
