I'd refactor that slightly to:

while ( <FH> ) {
    next if $_ !~ /^Confname/;
    ...
}

Or simply, if we're refactoring, `while ( <FH> ) { next unless /^Confname/; ... }` [download] I've always found `unless` clearer than a negated if for short single-condition conditionals like that. I do accept that that's personal preference, though .. :) -- Tanalis `#include www.liquidfusion.org.uk`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
