So my @eg = qw(foo fie fum); print "eg: @eg\n"; print "eg: ", @eg, "\n"; prints eg: foo fie fum eg: foofiefum so your -f "@_" works if there's just one element. I prefer my ($fname) = @_; as it's easy to expand to add more params my ($fname, $fsize_max) = @_; -- a Andy Bach, afb...@gmail.com 608 658-1890 cell 608 261-5738 wk
