Dispite that many has pointed out that are identical, your first remark is true. The problem lies elsewhere: doesn't localize $_ and thus leaves $_ undefined after the loop. doesn't suffer from this as it doesn't touch $_. If put in a subroutine this innocent little bug cause a serious headache while trying to find out why $_ all of a sudden is undefined. ihb
