Re^5: Does Perl 5 (or 6?) need another built-in variable for the -F switch?

In that case, you rather want an array of pairs instead of a hash. There are switches that can be used multiple times (-M, among others), and some switches interact and their order is relevant (-l and -0 for instance).

If -M (for example) were used multiple times, the %^C hash would look like this: `%^C = ( M => [ 'strict', 'Data::Dumper', 'Getopt::Long' ], # ..... );` [download] Dave	[reply] [d/l]
