Took a peek at podview.pl. Instead of a datafile it uses the registry. It also uses a hash instead of an array, so duplicates don't exist (if you open the same file multiple times).
Good call, this is a better way to handle it, assuming the person using it is careful with the registry. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 9:20 AM To: perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Most-Recently-Used files Look in podview.pl, in the samples directory that comes with the zip file, for code that implements such a menu.
