true enough -- but there doesn't appear to be anything that handles the old 2-to-3-character names (ACK, NAK, XOFF, DEL, et cetera). i have a need for these short versions. are you suggesting that it's not worth wasting time on a cpan module for this? or that it should be folded into or namespaced under charnames? if neither of the above, suggestions for an appropriate module name are welcome.. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!"
