Well at least it would not be using 'local' the way it does use it now. 'temporary' or something would make more sense. Local versus lexical variables are a big source of confusion :-( On the other hand I do not have any problem whatsoever with 'my' and 'our' looking the same. (Besides if you don't like 'our' then 'use vars' ;-) Jenda ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ===== When it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. -- Terry Pratchett in Sourcery -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
