It sounds like what you're doing is working, so more power to you. But just in the way of slightly unsolicited advice, I've found over the years that parameterizing code is better than generating code. I imagine that an alternative approach to what you're doing might be writing a single unchanging perl program that takes as a parameter an input file or standard input stream of data to work on. Just something for you to contemplate :) --Brock -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
