I did not run perl with either switch. However, it was educational to read about these! I believe that I have cleared up my puzzlement. As usual, operator error (mine of course) was the problem. In Padre, I was flipping back and forth between two similarly named files, while at the same time commenting and uncommenting lines. I now suspect that I had failed to save before running one of these changed files from the command line. After deleting said files and starting from scratch with a clearer head, all is working as the documentation says it should, both running from within Padre and running from the command line. Thanks for your help and patience! boB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
