print $ARGV[0].5 This is the best answer I've seen in this thread :) It's clear, short and very precise... How about some golfing while you're at it? `die+shift()**.5,$/` [download] I know that this is 18 strokes like yours, but this one prints a newline ;) - Yes, I reinvent wheels. - Spam: Visit eurotraQ.

Since you're only using one argument you can call it with one argument and shorten it to 16: `die pop()**.5,$/` [download] but that's bending the rules... jynx	[reply] [d/l]
