Because this is dump-ing. Arguably, purists will tell that stdout is as valid a filehandle than a real file, and thus, dump-ing is save-ing on stdout... But I find it easier to run this way. Oh, and I mimic perlbug on this, too. > (maybe stdout should be the default, if no --send|--save|--dump is > provided. otherwise --save w/o -o should direct to stdout) If no action is specified, the program keeps the same behavior than what is done for other non-provided options: it prompts the user. Seems logical to me. Jerome -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
