Typeglobs... I work for a small company whereby this is how the code I've used was done. Since the apps aren't really complex in nature I keep going with it and being that I "learned" how to program in perl from these I had stuck with it. Now I'm trying to find more efficient ways of doing things in the apps since we are getting involved with more complex applications. So basically "escaping" (sort of I know) grabs the memory location and $$, %$, or @$ will grab the appropriate reference to this location? I had tried using this just prior to posting this actually but it didnt seem to work. I'll try again making sure all the "i"s are dotted. Thanks again.
