Brief personal response My first Perl program was written to chop up Netscape bookmark files, as it was so long that I got tired removing all the extraneous bits (Last-Visited etc) by hand. I read some bits of the Programming Perl book carefully, wrote it, and three days later (part time) it worked. I then read about use strict; and decided to stick it in. It took another two full days to make this working program compile. But I learnt a lot about Perl. The moral - always use strict; or know why ;-) -- Anthony Staines
