Test2 only has the one BEGIN call because it doesn't try to use. For example, your code is roughly the same as... package LTest; BEGIN {require Test2}; BEGIN { warn "Test is beginning\n"; } So you can see there are two BEGIN blocks that are being called.

Oh, actually do you mean it is the same at: pageage LTest; BEGIN {require Test2} BEGIN { warn "." } print "Here\n" 1; Ok, that kind'a make sence.. Cheers Leo - who is slowly getting there.

Re: Am I going nutts ? - read before answering!
Yup, that's right. So to get it to only have the one call, change your "use" to a require and put it in the BEGIN block. nitpick number="1" use fred; Will also call fred-import(), so you might want to emulate that too. /nitpick nitpick number="2" type="lesser" -- Robert Price - Technical Manager - EMAP Digital Travel | Tel: 0207 3092711 Priory Court, 30-32 Farringdon Lane, London, EC1R 3AW | Fax: 0207 3092718 Shouldn't these numbers be formatted 020 7XXX Later.
