Yes, it has many of the same. They are documented in perldoc perlvar. They have short names like $/, $", etc. There is a standard module called English.pm that aliases them to longer names more like the awk names. see perldoc English. If you're coming from awk or interested in porting awk scripts, take a look also at perldoc perltrap (section on awk traps) man a2p HTH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
