D'oh! Forget me own head next,

i should mention that i'm using perl5.6.0 on a redhat linux box. Also, i did at least 5 or 6 tests trying to get lvalue to work properly, and they didn't work. So when i put in the require line i obviously forget to test extensively. The lvalue problem was fixed by adding the require line, but that still doesn't explain the source of the problems, questions 1 & 2.

UpdateAha! Further testing shows that the lvalues don't get set properly when run with perl -d, but do get set properly without it! Wait... what? Can someone please explain?
