I'm getting confused, so maybe there is some confusion. The camel book, always blue AFAIK, is Wall's "Programming Perl." The red book I know has a llama and is Schwartz's "Learning Perl," one of the best language tutorials I've ever worked with. While I grant that a llama could be mistaken for a camel on a dark night or in a dimly lit bar, red and blue are within my 3-yr-old's ability to identify. Preemptive strike against quibblers: red ~= cyan for this discussion (and to my 3-yr-old). -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
