That's one of the things "use warnings" (or -w) does.
Hence why the question really should be what if i drive down the street without the lap and shoulder belt on - the buzzer will finally go off.... The 'use strict' helps one with the stuff more protected in 'refs' and 'vars'..... Perchance not as important once one has a) opted to harden the code and never ever, ever, ever go with changing a line in it b) ported it completely to being a tomcat java servlet The problem that we are protecting ourselves from is the moment in the future when we have to take this piece of code down for some maintanance. ciao drieux --- ps: as for driving with safety equipage - its the time that you THINK it is ok, that will be the night you get to sit up in ER having a chat with the radiologist as you look at the X-rays and say: "Damn.... I thought that part of the facial bone structure was designed to prevent cracking that part of the bone structure over the sinuses..." Or should I park this story in the context of my LIFE NRA member cousin who capped a 9mm round through his tigh one evening from an unloaded handgun he was planning to clean because, well, he'd cleaned enough of them... and now has no problem understanding why we all consider all of them LOADED and LEATHAL - PERIOD - no discussion, no debate.
