=over some_number begins a list =back ends it. All pod commands begin at the left margin with =. Pod thinks in paragraphs, where paragraph is defined as a group of lines separated from other groups by one or more blank lines. See perlpod for details on pod, it is quite simple, but highly effective. Phil	[reply]
