That's just bull, Lee. :) If you can't have common terminology, how can you have a reasonable discussion about programming which requires explicit terminolgy ?
Did/do you say braces or square brackets? Did you specify the style of parenthesis: looked to me like the significance was as implicit in your sentence as mine.
How about:
() - plain/round parenthesis/brackets
[] - square parenthesis/brackets
{} - curly parenthesis/brackets, set delimiters (maybe not)
<> - angle brackets; greater-/less-thanReally, though, bull aside, do you Yankees really think () are not brackets? Or [] aren't?

I'm guessing that is forcing a scalar context for 'stat($file)' when you need a list context.
Could be. I really ought to invest in looking at the source for this thing...
Cheers! Lee
