Although I haven't tried it, _supposedly_ a file tied with DB_File and specifying a $DB_RECNO type of data base will support many of the array manipulation functions, e.g. shift, unshift, pop, push including negative indices, $h[-1] to get the last record or $h[-2] to get the next to last record. The reason why I stress the "_supposedly_" is that trying to use DB_File to read a $DB_HASH type file doesn't work anymore. **** [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Carl Jolley> **** All opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my employer **** _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
