This doesn't work according to spec, you're missing the single quotes round each value. It also refuses to run in a windows command shell... `Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.` [download] --- my name's not Keith, and I'm not reasonable.	[reply] [d/l]

Hi, well, in linux and cygwin on win 2000 (cmd.exe & bash) it does work... Are you sure you copied the complete line? -- if ( 1 ) { $postman->ring() for (1..2); }	[reply]
