Sorry if I was unclear as to what I was after.

I never ran into that usage I guess. Or never really thought to look a `pragma'. I thought, right along, that kind of syntax was reserved for pulling up documentation of a module, like `perldoc File::Find' or whatever. And have been confused about `pragma' as well. You've helped clear that up for me too.... thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
