It will only be ridiculous if the poster chooses to ignore the good advice. If we see a follow up, anyone care to place odds as to the response? :) Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course. Silence is Evil (feel free to copy and distribute widely - note copyright text)	[reply]

A humble little poster like me would not even contemplate ignoring the wisdom of the masters. The proxy at work went down after I posted and I could not get back til now. Having the same answer by several monks certainly leaves no doubt as to the validity of that answer. Having them so close together makes one think that there is a competition going on. ;-) Thank you all so much. I have no problem using a hash, in fact I've used them like this before. Don't know why I was hell bent on using a scalar. What will the odds be Ovid? :-)	[reply]

Given the frequency of newer programmers ignoring advice, I would have bet against you and looked like an idiot :) Welcome to the Perl community! Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course. Silence is Evil (feel free to copy and distribute widely - note copyright text)	[reply]
