Both Storable and Data::Dumper are part of the standard Perl install. You should already have them on your machine. To check if a module is already loaded: perl -M<module> -e "" Replace <module> with the module full name, e.g: perl -MStorable -e "" If the module is not loaded, you will get an error message. -- __END__ Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, --- Shawn "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."
