No. The Python front end allows you to type Python code, and does what the code says, without needing to prefix the commands with any language command. For instance, if you typed "print @INC" you would get the value of @INC printed. Equally, you could create variables, give them values, and evaluate them in various functions by typing the Perl code. -- __ __ __ __ __ ___ _____________________________________________ |__||__)/ __/ \|\ ||_ | / Acorn StrongArm Risc_PC | || \\__/\__/| \||__ | /...Internet access for all Acorn RISC machines ___________________________/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
