(and a very good new year's eve). someone can tell me why this script doesn't accept the -h flag?: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; use Getopt::Std; getopt('h'); my $opt_h; if($opt_h) { [code...] } You need to declare a hash then pass the hash to the getopt() function. This code is an example of something you can do with getopt(). my %options; getopt( 'a:b:c:d:e', \%options ); if ( $option{'a'} ) { do_something(); } Hopefully this will at least point you in the right direction. - Travis. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
