No offense, but why so drawn out? Why do $url = $_, instead of for $url (@ARGV) { ... } But why use $url at all? And why all those intermediate variables? #!/usr/bin/perl -wl print md5_hex get $_ for @ARGV; or, if you're a parenthesis fiend: #!/usr/bin/perl -wl print md5_hex(get($_)) for @ARGV; -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
