The problem is that you need to have your format selected when you assign to $= so perl knows to which format you are referring: my $fh = select REPORT; $= = 10; select $fh; Alternatively, you could call a method on the FileHandle: REPORT->format_lines_per_page(10); -- Paul Johnson - p...@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
