ANSI escape codes are what you send to a terminal to make it do stuff. For example, if you print "\e[31;42;1m" to a terminal (where "\e" is ESC, or ASCII 27) it will make text appear as bold red on a green background. In httpd-test, this is all hidden within Term::ANSIColor, which gets called from Apache::TestTrace... Gary [ Gary Benson, Red Hat Europe ][ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ][ GnuPG 60E8793A ]
