You've got a start. It looks as if the piece you're missing is the coderef: a reference to a chunk of code. You should be able to do what you want by using references to anonymous subroutines, maybe something like this: my $coderef = sub { my($pet) = shift; return $pet eq "dog" }; You can read about anonymous subroutines in the perlref manpage. http://perldoc.perl.org/perlref.html Hope this helps! --Tom Phoenix Stonehenge Perl Training -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
