My advice to you on this point would be that when you're trying to do two things, it's perfectly okay to use two lines of code to do it. (It's even okay sometimes when you're only trying to do one thing!) Perl doesn't charge you by the lines of code you use, so doing this: my $re = shift; $re = qr/$re/; is just fine. chrs, john. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
