use constant TRUE => 1; use constant FALSE => 0; Is a complete solution in perl 5. There was once a reason back in the time of grandfathered languages for booleans which actually used only one bit of a precious word of memory. That would be a "true" boolean. I'll bet those "new school" languages use a native word, 16 , 32, or perhaps 64 bits while arguing that it's faster and better that way. -- --> Halloween == Oct 31 == Dec 25 == Christmas <--
