Hi ddebrito, Yes ... from perlvar: `$COMPILING $^C The current value of the flag associated with the -c switch. Mainly of use with -MO=... to allow code to alter its behavio +r when being compiled, such as for example to AUTOLOAD at compi +le time rather than normal, deferred loading. See perlcc. Set- ting "$^C = 1" is similar to calling "B::minus_c".` [download] s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/	[reply] [d/l]

... something I learnt only yesterday, if your perl is 5.005ish or later, try testing the $^C variable. HTH , Software is the only product guaranteed to be not fully working at point of delivery.	[reply]
