No it doesnt, that's just a shell heredoc. `in somefile... bla bla bal #!perl execute() __END__ bla bla bla` [download] end then... `> perl -x somefile` [download] see perlrun. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The heredoc joost used is quoting for his shell, not perl. Put the following in a file (443263.pl, in my case) then run it using the -x command line switch. `bla bla bla ignored #!perl #stuff_to_execute(); print "Hello, world!\n"; __END__ bla bla` [download] `Output without -x: C:\S>perl 443263.pl syntax error at 443263.pl line 6, near "ignored" Execution of 443263.pl aborted due to compilation errors. With -x: C:\S>perl -x 443263.pl Hello, world!` [download] see perlrun for details	[reply] [d/l] [select]
