Thanks Perrin. The ability of tutors to define perl scripts is valuable, so I will dig more in this direction, being mindful of Safe.pm vulnerabilities. The main vulnerabilities of Safe that I have seen mentioned personally, are related to use of bless and tie, and therefore I disabled those opcodes. I appreciate your input and I will treat safe.pm with great caution. i - Igor __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
