Yeah, you're (of course) right. I know that regex and I can imagine what difficulties could a rise if corethings get changed. You should not take my mail too serious. In my opinion perl is one of the best and most complete languages. But if someone asks me, if i miss something - "good old trim()" will always be my answer ;)

A patch from ActiveState for this form of change is as likely as being accepted from ActiveState as from you. It is up to the current release God (patch pumpkin) to decide whether such a feature would be accepted. As trim() has a reasonable substitute (see above), it is doubtful that such a patch would be accepted to the core for Perl 5.8.x. mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________ . . _ ._ . . .__ . . ._. .__ . . . .__ | Neighbourhood Coder |\/| |_| |_| |/ |_ |\/| | |_ | |/ |_ | | | | | | \ | \ |__ . | | .|. |__ |__ | \ |__ | Ottawa, Ontario, Canada One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them... http://mark.mielke.cc/ _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
