Thanks, but isn't that in OO style? Maybe I'm really confused, but I was under the impression that OO used the -> while function-oriented (which I am trying to understand) does not.

Aside: I do not use strict; in my code because no matter what I've tried, I can't get anything to run with that in my scripts on the server set up I have. My unix admins tell me something is wrong with the perl install, but they don't know how to fix it... But I'm soon to get a new web server (woohoo, no more netscape server) with fresh installs of everything (woohoo, no more perl 5.004) so hopefully that will get fixed.
