With all of these code-based things going on, I'm inclined to suggest a more disturbing challenge - overcomplicating "hello world" Here's my pitiful first attempt: sub make_hello_sayer { sub { printf "hello %s\n", shift; } } my $sayer = make_hello_sayer(); $sayer->('world'); I'm looking forward to the first entry that combines regexen with some sort of tie. Let the games begin. --James
