What section are you referring to? The version I have has section on prototypes but nothing seems to indicate that they shouldn't be used (is there something specific I should grep for?). This does kindof make me laugh though: "Alphanumerics have been intentionally left out of prototypes for the express purpose of someday in the future adding named, formal parameters" Sorry in advance to anyone who will inform me that's copyrighted content. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
