I hope, nobody will take too serious, what I'll say in the next lines :-) What do the C lines above? The define some data structure. Perl is in the most cases so modern, that it can detect the data structure for its own. Especially it's not necessary to define the length of an array, to say the number variable is short or integer or a float. Perl will find it out for itself. So without any more knowledge of the problem, I'd suggest to take an empty file. And wew, the empty file is the translation of this C code :D Cheers, Andrea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
