You can't. However, you might be able to confine your local version of $\ to only those operations you want. I tried to go back to your original code to give you an example of this, but it wasn't clear to me what exactly you wanted affected by your version of $\, and what should've been left alone. > #!yourperl > my $\ = "\n"; > __END__ > > I get this error: > > Can't use global $\ in "my" at /usr/nj/pl.pl line 4, near "my $\ " > Execution of /usr/nj/pl.pl aborted due to compilation errors. These special variables are global. Even if you could manage to lexically scope them they wouldn't be the same variable any more than the two $foo variables would be with 'our $foo; my $foo;' Michael -- Administrator www.shoebox.net Programmer, System Administrator www.gallanttech.com -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
