well- my design is likely not that great over all *laugh*
but it works well enough :) i have taken your code below and
am implementing it-- i think it's clearer what's going on.

when i tried the "<CMD> for 1 .. $n;" idea, at first i wanted to use $_
again... i finally understand that it's not being assigned any value at
this point- it still retains the last value from the while loop...
i wanted to take
while (<CMD>){
$x = $_;
}
and simply insert your line like so::
while (<CMD>){
<CMD> for 1 .. $borkborkborkbork;
$x = $_;
}
for me this is a more intuitive idiom, though one i
now know to be false.
while (<CMD>){
<CMD> for 1 .. $borkborkborkbork;
$x = <CMD>;
}
seems to be the proper (only?) method in this particular case.
:)
thank you,
willy
