"Mr> How about? "Mr> $variable = 1 - !$variable; Same problem. And you'll also get a warnings error. There is *no promise* in the Perl docs that a boolean returns a specific value for "true" or "false". Any code that depends on such is broken, in my opinion, taking advantage of a particular implementation of Perl, and not its external specifications. For grins, ! could return "4" and "0" in the next release for true and false. Or even "0 but true" for true. And that'd certainly mess up your routine here. And that's my point. -- Randal L.
