Hi afoken Imo, not completely redundant. The 0o377 form has the advantage that it is a string literal that we know perl will interpret as a number, however that happens to be implemented in scalars. Whereas for the reader initiate the 0377 form can be somewhat ambigious, especially when they are preceded with a leading reference operator performing a similar disambiguation that may ultimately lead to further potentially uneccessary investigation on the part of the unfortunately bewildered acolyte. 0x16-0xA==0xCoyote In reply to Re^9: Capture a non-printable char and test what it is
