Well, that's something new I've learnt. Thank you. Two things in fact as I've never played with -MO=Deparse before and now I can see how useful it can be.

The only problem with goto is personal in that my first language was Fortran IV; no code blocks and no else clauses meant that your code was full of GO TO's and I became heartily sick of them :)

Cheers,
