VG> *print "Hello World ^n";* it can't be done as that is builtin syntax. the real question is why you would want to do this? perl has several ways to make string literals and one of them is probably what you want instead of changing the escape char. and if you DID change it, you would confuse the hell out of everyone who ever read your code. and remember, code is for people, not computers! and code is for other people, not yourself! so don't go looking for things to make it easier for you, look to write code to make it easier for others to read it. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ u...@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
