Yes, it does matter. If it happens at compile time, any error is reported every time you run it. If it happens at run time, any error is reported only when that piece of code is executed. If it is in a branch that is seldom executed, because the data seldom directs the program there, you may not know of the error until months later. Try to make all the errors show up at compile time. -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn The map is not the territory, the dossier is not the person, the model is not reality, and the universe is indifferent to your beliefs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
