(=for XML) Now, if I could use POD to get the job done more lazily, but switch to XML if I needed something more than pod can do (tables more sophisticated than can be tersely expressed in monospace ASCII being the only one so far) then I'd be happy. Oh, and my code would be more likely to be documented full stop than if I had to fight XML. I speak only for myself here. (oh, and my boss, who thought the same) Nicholas Clark
