While it's true that native utilities generally use the pid in hex, Perl doesn't. For example the C<$$> special variable displays in decimal on VMS and always has as far as I know. I really don't see any reason for special case code here, and it might even be more confusing to have it different from the way Perl does things elsewhere. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
