You didn't actually try that, did you? `:)` It won't work, and that's because `chop()` tries to modify its argument, i.e. it wants an lvalue. The return value of `chop()` returns the (last) removed value, so even if `chop()` could chop the `reverse()`-expression `$string` would hold the first char of itself, and the outer reverse would be useless. `ihb`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
