We try to hire people with a basic knowledge of the language. I can see your concern with the fifteen different ways perl can represent ifs (at least the language doesn't have COME FROM) but this is a bit excessive? Do you also wrap if bodies in a few extra layers of parentheses, in case someone comes along and wants to add a || and forgets to? -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - I am the rocks.
