RE: scalar number or string?

You have to compile the input. Try using eval. It should look something like: while (STDIN) { $calc= eval $_; print $calc.\n; last; } But, don't forget to catch errors. Sasha -Original Message- From: Jacques Lederer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 19,

Multiple aliases for same sub

2003-01-17 Thread Oblak, Sasha
Hello I defined on sub (say 'foo'), and I have defined 2 alias that point to foo (say 'boo' and 'zoo'). When I call the either function boo or zoo, I really enter foo. Is there any way to find out which sub was really called either 'boo' or 'zoo'? I tried using caller, but caller returns foo.
