A rather stupid question but I would appreciate a good answer........ What is the point of the eval function. What would be a reason to use it. >From what I gather it is a function that evaluates a piece of Perl code and returns the exit status of the code. What is the point. Why no just write code and check for exit status of commands where such a check is necessary......... Could it have something to do with run-time code generation............. ?? Pardon my ignorance, I am still learning. TIA Ismar -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
