There is no variable named $main unless you create it. You may be mistaking the main package in variables like $main::foo. Also, if the module is not using the strict pragma then it is not required to "create" the variable. It will be created on the first reference to it (whitch is why you should always use the strict pragma). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
