"Does anybody know whether there is some equivalent in Perl to VB's IsObject function?"
It would be helpful to have a description of the VB IsObject function, but judging by the name, you could do something like this (untested) sub isObject { my %types = map {$_=>$_} qw(SCALAR ARRAY HASH CODE REF GLOB LVALUE); my $ref = ref shift; return ($ref and not $types{$ref}); } the key element being the use of the ref function. Or look into the UNIVERSAL package. Tim _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
