However, another tricky situation would be for anyone that wants to help you (and I can promise you, there are many of those). The trick is trying to figure out the problem without being able to eliminate problems that can be the cause of it. It's like figuring out a leak without being able to fix the pipes. It might be the pipes but you cannot fix them in order to see if it's something else. When you use strict, you eliminate common errors that have a good chance of being the reason. I avoid helping people who don't (and can't) use strict because it's a headache. Be prepared to have some of your questions subtly ignored because no one wants to play in the swamp. :) > As for pt / mm / in as future to be reserved words well, I will then refer > you to the article I used for creating PDF files: > http://rick.measham.id.au/pdf-api2/ > Where he was using these words, my idea came when I wanted to create a > common module for all my reports with same > constants.... > > As for pt / mm / in as being Bareword, I understood it when I run the little > code I wrote...but still I need these constants > to be shared with the other files "constant" has its issues. I personally use Readonly. Try this: ----- const.pm use Readonly; Readonly $pt => 1; 1; ----- const.pl use const; print "$pt\n"; -------- Also, if you use Readonly, you can install Readonly::XS which speeds it up. I hope this helps. Good luck, Sawyer. _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
