<silly> The trick would be getting Perl to not require the semicolon at the end of that use-line. :) </silly> <serious> I agree entirely with what Luke just said in the email I'm replying to. While it's possible to have Perl behave this way, I don't think Perl programmers *in general* would want it. Heck, a lot of us aren't even thrilled about the implicit-semicolon-at-brace-followed-by-newline rule Larry introduced in A4. </serious> -- Debbie Pickett http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~debbiep [EMAIL PROTECTED] "You gotta bat your eyes - like this." - _The Little Mermaid_
