Sounds good. Mostly what I was suggesting was to try to avoid ${warnline} in the string. If your code could parse/translate the string sent to print, it seems to me it would be easier to use/read.

Just my $0.02, --traveler

    I don't understand.

      Well, in your case the variable is interpreted by Perl. I was suggesting a string not interpreted by Perl, but by your code. This gets the variable notation ($foo) out of the string. That way someone reading the code later doesn't think the user is printing out a user variable.

        I was thinking that I would not code a literal "\x1b" or whatever in the string anyway, but would interpolate $ESC.
