If you initialize this "global variable" with a value from a file which is changed by main (or over time) then order does matter. I claim unsafePerformIO is very often unsafe - the question is more like if the "level of unsafety" is acceptable for a particular application. /Patrik _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
