Kyle, this is a syntactic 'not-nicety' of Perl imho. You need a separate line like so: my $key; This must of course go before the loop, preferably right before it as this is good style. Hope I don't get flamed to death now. :) BTW, an alternative that I sometimes use in the case where I need a bunch of scalars in a sub is to just declare a hash, e.g. my %vars; Now I can use $vars{moe}, $vars{curly} etc... to my heart's content with only the one 'my' variable. hth, Marty -- SIMPL WebSite Creation: http://face2interface.com/Home/Demo.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
