First, I generally don't declare a lot of variables at the beginning of my program. I introduce them into the smallest scope where they make sense. Globals Are Evil. Haven't you heard? :) Second, if I do have three variables to declare, I do them with separate statements, so I can also COMMENT them. You *do* comment your variables, right? my $rate = 23; # how fast are we going, initially my $age = 43; # getting old! etc. -- Randal L.
