You mean if you do something like: my %subs; $subs{'www.com'} = sub { .. } Yes, then you can use dots, in the hash keys that dereference to anonymous subroutines. The next question is, why do you *need* to have subroutine names with dots in them? -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You need more time; and you probably always will. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
