SHC> I don't use mod_perl but you do have to be careful when you use it. as i keep saying, i can't see how modperl has anything to do with this. i will keep quiet until the OP posts some more and wider code showing how this happened. he only asked about the silly syntax error since 'or' is an op when a bareword. lc(or) is a mistake at a deeper level than just a syntax error. that is what i want to correct. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ u...@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
