Difference between lock() and err() is this. $ perl5.6.1 -wle 'sub lock { "foo" } print lock' foo $ bleadperl -wle 'sub lock { "foo" } print lock' foo $ bleadperl -wle 'sub err { "foo" } print err' Ambiguous call resolved as CORE::err(), qualify as such or use & at -e line 1. syntax error at -e line 1, at EOF Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ AY!
