JN> No its not, you can if you want but it pointless: I read it somewhere (it was perl cookbook/learning perl from o'reilly maybe). Always declare my @a = ( ); And here is why, if I remember correctly - if you declare my @a; you should think you declare empty array. After that, in script you should use @a; which do nothing. So my @a = ( ); is good practise I think. It is the same for hashes. >> $|++;, and I use $| = 1; JN> That two ways to assign 1 to $|, its not similar to the array thing at all. I meant good practise in scripts. What about when somewhere in script will be $| = -1; pr $|-- ? $| = 1 will work always. -- ...m8s, cu l8r, Brano.
