I was using the First Edition of Perl in a Nutshell for reference, so I guess 
things have changed a little :). That seems to work for the simple commands I am 
running.

        I was going to forward this to the author for their review and am wondering 
what the exceptable format is? I have seen others just do a diff of the files. Is 
there any etiquette to such a thing or is the below acceptable?

>$ diff Shell.pm ~/bak.Shell.pm 
356c356
<               (?<!\\)$prefix
---
>               $prefix

Thanks,
