Thanks for the test, John. In the book's example, they have:
use v5.10;
so I thought I was new enough, but maybe not.
I've resorted to adding:
use vars '$VERSION'; $VERSION = '1.01';
after the package declaration. That works, but it's just not as clean looking.
Not a big deal, though.
Thanks again,
Frank
