OK, but without knowing this feature first, it's a bit difficult to guess the right command to type: "perldoc -f use" doesn't even mention it.

So, one should not use it. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
