Looks like an encoding problem. The pound is hex-A3 in Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-1 $ perl -le '@ary=qw($ X * & ! #); $ary[1]="\xA3"; print"@ary"' $ £ * & ! # -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
