If anything this points to the problem of 'underDocumented' "one liners" that become Killers to the FNG who has to deconstruct the voodoo of the perlGeek before them.... If say the $xcp_request can be shown to be an 'object' of FOO::BAR then we should be able to find the perldoc of that class - assuming that the perlGeek did the POD.... ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
