Don't do that. Using barewords as strings can break your code if you later on introduce a sub with the same name in your code. Besides, this obviously doesn't work for Perl reserved words anyways. Instead, use either: > $cgi->param("username"); > $cgi->param('username'); HTH, Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
