I wrote an entire chapter on strict and warnings in "Perl Medic", so that the reader might understand their importance and operation. Leave them in. Always. If you have a program that you need to speed up, that is the last place to look for possible speed increase. *Your* time is infinitely more important than the computer's. -- Peter Scott http://www.perldebugged.com/ *** NEW *** http://www.perlmedic.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
