Never underestimate blindingly obvious when I'm involved ;) $idx_of_foo = $queue['foo']; # named lookup $nth_foo = $queue[600]; # ordered lookup One is SvPOK the other SvIOK... Can't we handle both and still have the ordered lookup be fast? -- Garrett Goebel IS Development Specialist ScriptPro Direct: 913.403.5261 5828 Reeds Road Main: 913.384.1008 Mission, KS 66202 Fax: 913.384.2180 www.scriptpro.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
