Don't know if it relates to the problem but this code is quite fragile. It depends upon whether $content completely fits into the operating systems pipe buffer. In your program the print $wtr or the close $wtr statements may infinitely block if $content is too large.
thanks for pointing that out, I didn't know that. To keep it simple, I decided to write the code into a temporary file and give it as an argument to source-highlight, so that I can call it with a simple one-directional pipe-open. Still, it would be interesting to know why the code did not work in MP 2.02. regards, tina -- http://darkdance.net/ http://perlpunks.de/ http://www.trashcave.de/
