There is no need for a main() function in Perl. As for what argc and **argv hold, you can get the name of the program from $0, and the arguments to your program in @ARGV. The number of arguments to your program is scalar(@ARGV), or ($#ARGV+1). -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ CPAN ID: PINYAN [Need a programmer?
