Correct, but > LABEL BLOCK is valid perl syntax. to be more precise `LABEL:` and `{ NAKED BLOCK }` are already valid in isolation, they don't need to be compounded. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

OK, then, yes, it's a label. I saw else with a colon and didn't even think about labels, even though I've used them many times over the years. Actually, it seems a little odd that a keyword is permitted to be used in this fashion, but whatever. Thanks for the explanation. I'm gonna blame it on Guido, lol. --Bob Niederman, http://bob-n.com All code given here is UNTESTED unless otherwise stated.	[reply]
