But I am a bit confused about the order of compiling, does the whole file get compiled, then the module, and then they get "linked" or is it sequential so that as soon as a non-previously compiled 'use' is reached, then the that is compiled and then returns to the original point to finish that file? This latter seems to make more sense, but then that doesn't mean it is the case. I really ought to read up more on Perl internals, but finding the time when I want to make my head hurt is difficult at best ;-)...... http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
