If you're looking for perfect cubes .... `use POSIX qw(ceil floor); if (ceil($num 1/3) == floor($num 1/3)) { print $num . " is a cube of " $num ** 1/3; } else { print $num . " is not a perfect cube."; }` [download] Like all of my code the above is untested and comes with no warrenty implied or otherwise.	[reply] [d/l]
