>From "perldoc perlref": Using a reference as a number produces an integer representing its storage location in memory. The only useful thing to be done with this is to compare two references numerically to see whether they refer to the same location. if ($ref1 == $ref2) { # cheap numeric compare of references print "refs 1 and 2 refer to the same thing\n"; } -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
