I'd also love to get my hands on a later version of Perl for RISC OS, but I recall Alex Waugh saying that his port was not complete and was very much alpha test only. > 5.005 doesn't get along too happily with the sprintf'ing (%b016) > that I need :-( What is %b016 supposed to do? Perhaps it would be better to write a routine for Perl 5.005 to do it. That way you wouldn't be dependent on 5.8 and could run your program on RISC OS using a more stable version of Perl. -- James Taylor, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK. PGP key: 3FBE1BF9
