Well .. perhaps this is $DEITY's way of telling that having a single scope block that is 433 lines long is a bad idea. One of the unspeakable horrors that was thrust upon me in my current job, was a chunk of 7,467 lines of code that is one enormous if/elsif/elsif/elsif/elsif/ block. Now it is 287 subs and a %dispatch table. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Lawrence Statton - [EMAIL PROTECTED] s/aba/c/g Computer software consists of only two components: ones and zeros, in roughly equal proportions.
