I noticed James answered but generally speaking I frequently use "man perlfunc" as a quick reference guide. "man perl" gives you the index of the man pages. Other ones I tend to use are "man perlre" and "man perlop". For the modules "perldoc Time::Local" for example. -- ---<GRiP>--- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Phone/fax: 02 4950 1194 Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
