Sorry, I spoke way to soon. A quick test seemed to indicate the above was true, but in fact I had alread put a fresh opendir inside the function while testing your comments. So I neglected to remove it when my test seemed to indicate that simply correcting the typo was enough. So yup you hit it right. After relocating the closedir and putting a new opendir inside the function it worked as I had intended.... Thanks again. Does repeat open and closing of dir represent any kind of time drain? If so, how would I do the chore with only one opendir, or is it even possible or desirable? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
