Thanks. It's nice to know that this has changed. I'd never noticed it being considered a bug, so I wasn't expecting any change here. So downgrade the warning to it only not being portable to older versions of Perl. I got lucky and had versions of Perl handy that disagree on this feature; it doesn't work in v5.6.0 but works in v5.6.1 and likely stays (not)working for versions on each side of that division. - tye	[reply]
