http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=PerlMonks%20FAQ I poked around but there is a lot of information. The natural order of flow in the English language is to start at the top move right to left until you reach the bottom. This is an English language list. Perl also reads your code that way. Would you want to come along later and have to scroll to the bottom to read the first post. Scroll down a little as you read then scroll up to read the reply etc., etc., etc. until you are back at the top? -- Silverfox There are those that will think me rude. Do you want someone to do it for you? They will be glad to, if you pay them. To get free help one must show evidence that one has made an honest effort to find/figure out the answer first. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
