perldoc -f print ok in perldoc print it states: If FILEHANDLE is a variable and the next token is a term, it may me intrepreted as an operator unless you interpose a "+" . so in the code :

 
  while (<FOO>) {
 
        ....code
      ...code
        print +(split)[2], $, ;
}

FOO is my filehandle and it is considered a variable meaning $_ right? so the next token a term, would be what? print split or 2 ??? a term meaning a unary term? and what exactly does interpose mean? thanks derek
