Hello Mtve, Sorry to disappoint you; your 64 doesn't work on my machine: Perl 5.8.0, Linux 2.4.18 (RedHat 8), Pentium.
Viewing from your source, I'd say it should work - the empty statement should just return empty string, and exit code 0 - but $ perl -le '``;print $/' gives 256. Can someone explain? Greetings, Daniel -- Daniël Tuijnman Frodo failed [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bush has the ring
