The original looks more correct. Maybe its using a comma wrong, but it has the proper meaning. > Note that a block by itself is semantically identical to a loop > -that executes once.

See L<sort>. Perl is the language. perl is the program. Its a bit hazy which this is talking about but I think it makes sense that the behavior of a module is in a future version of the language. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern Just call me 'Moron Sugar'. http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp05182002.shtml
