I call it a conditional "my". A "my" can be just a declaration, or a declaration and an initialisation. In this case only the initialisation is conditional. A "my" in a condition has special behaviour if the condition is constant false: "0 and my $var;" creates a static $var. As I wrote: *I* wouldn't use *such* a conditional "my". I put the declaration on its own line, just before the conditional initialisation. I sometimes use a conditional my if I want the static behaviour, but not in production code. Perl 5.10 has "static". -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
