It was more to display the idea .. but its syntax is correct and in testing provided acurate results.. I've now garnished quite a few negative XP for this nodelet.. Thanks for at least responding to the post...

Now why dont people like this??

should it have said "no values were defined?" which matches what was asked for?.. should I have left it as unless( values(%hash)) ???

after testing some more I now see that the values(%hash) is sufficient.. I stand corrected and accept the negative XP..
/me dohs and hangs his head in shame...

MMMMM... Chocolaty Perl Goodness.....
