[stuff cut out] > (my $new_message = $message) =~ s/\$(\w+)/$includes{$1}/g; [stuff cut out] Um, I guess... I was more curious if there wasn't something like: print "\S$b\E is cool\n"; That would force it to re-evaluate the string at runtime... You know, sort of the opposite of what \Q and \E do? That's a good-enough way to do it, I suppose. - B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
