In my experience, the -M switch isn't as widely understood as "use" :). I've gotten comments a number of times indicating that peoples eyes glaze over when they see a switch they don't know, even where it should be pretty obvious what it does. That said, here's a cool way to check a module's version number: `perl -MName::Of::Module=99999999`	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks to everyone for their answers. If I can get the time (and the nerve) I will try installing Perl 5.8.1. In the the meantime I will use the command line code from AnonyMonk and study the code ysth sent. Thanks to all, xenchu **sigfilesigfilesigfilesigfilesigfilesigfilesigfilesigfile Perl has one Great Advantage and one Great Disadvantage: It is very easy to write a complex and powerful program in three lines of code. ****************************************** `The Needs of the World and my Talents run parallel to infinity.`	[reply] [d/l]
