"perldoc -f my" refers to Perl's built-in documentation. You can enter this command at your prompt to get a description of my ("perldoc -f grep" gives a description of grep etc). But you already got several descriptions (as well as the output of perldoc -f my on this list), including mine. I do not see your problem. - Jan -- If all else fails read the instructions. - Donald Knuth -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
