No. In Perl (or C), "$x++" => use & then increment, whereas "++$x" => increment & then use. Thus the expression will use the existing value of x (1) to compute the value of y & then increment x itself. -Nilanjan _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
