But "no VERSION" does not work, at least in 5.8.3: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat foo use 5; no 6; print "version 5, not version 6\n"; [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ perl foo syntax error at foo line 2, near "no 6;" Execution of foo aborted due to compilation errors. and my discussion with Nicholas didn't lead me to believe that it would work in the upcoming 5.8.4 either. -- David Cantrell | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david All principles of gravity are negated by fear -- Cartoon Law V
