!!! Is it possible to have reference on the left side of the equation !!! I've tried this to alias HASH :") but didn't succeeded... sub { my \$hash = shift; # $_[0] is \%myhash }; Yes I know that there is aliasing : my *hash = \%{$hashref}.. And I see that here u use : \$r->blah ...Never mind it is cute construct anyway. Do U have any benefit in speed using it in this way ?! PS. didn't u think that there must finaly "alias" keyword in perl ===== iVAN [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===== > <Files ~ (hello\.bench)> > <Perl> > # ModPerl Handler > package Apache::bench; > sub handler { > my(\$r) = shift; > \$r->content_type('text/html'); > \$r->send_http_header(); > \$r->print('Hello '); > \$r->print('World'); > 200; > } > 1; > </Perl> > SetHandler perl-script > PerlHandler Apache::bench > </Files>
