In one viewpoint, no; everything you need for i/o or file management or whatnot is already a part of perl. In another viewpoint, yes; perl has modules which implement subroutines and class methods which, while not exactly the same, are used much like header files (via "use" or "require" instead of "include"). You can even duplicate a pure include to do some defining with a use statement if you write the module as such. If you don't have a copy of "The Camel Book", Programming Perl from O'Reilly, you ought to get it. There are some other perl tutorials on the web, and many were just mentioned in the past few days, so check the archives as well as the search engines and learn.perl.org for more info. % % Thanks, % Al HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
