You missed what he is saying. If you are using a version greater than 5.8.3, you can add a method, SCALAR, that gets called in exactly the circumstance you were asking about. No changing the module at all. (I haven't tested it, blah blah, just going off what the parent said, etc).

Oh, no, I got that, but am stuck on an ActivePerl build of 5.6.1. I should have made it explicit when replying to someone mentioning SCALAR. (which, I'll admit, I didn't know about) `-- @/=map{[/./g]}qw/.h_nJ Xapou cets krht ele_ r_ra/; map{y/X_/\n /;print}map{pop@$_}@/for@/` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
