indeed, a much better solution. however, i suspect it's obvious only to one as steeped in the code as yourself' i wasn't interested in hunting through all the code to find out where the symbol was evolved; past attempts to do things like that have been frustrating. so thanks! btw, the documentation joe mentioned to me is under perl.apache.org -- which is cool, but i think it would be cooler still if there were a link to it from http://httpd.apache.org/test/ ... which is where i went to look for it. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!"
