That looks really hard to read on my white background, and is probably also hard to read on a black background. Did you have some other color in mind for the background?

Personally, I can easily do without syntax coloring. It just puts too much flash on the screen. Maybe it's because I'm not part of the MTV Road Rules generation, but I'd rather just see plain mono-spaced text, thank you.

vim has both "light background" and "dark background" settings. Looks like aquarium was using the dark background setting when he shouldn't have. On a standard black terminal, those colors are just fine. He should have modified his vim settings before converting the file to HTML. ---- I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident. -- Schemer Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated	[reply]
