WARNING! WARNING! At least, that's what you would have heard if you had turned warnings on in your program. You've used curly braces {...} here, which creates a hash reference. You don't want a hash reference. You wanted to use parentheses (...). %zzz = ( v => \$a ); And your problems are solved. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
