Do not 'use diagnostics' in any production code. This module is used ONLY for getting VERBOSE information about all warnings and errors your program produces. It is a debugging tool. However, 'use strict' is fine. 'use strict' all the time. -- 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.
