Re^2: Using File::Tail with name

I got another problem when I use strict refs. The error came out was "Can't use string as a symbol ref while "strict refs" in use. It came from the ref used in name_changes=>\$change. Is there alternative to this?

Is `\$` a typo? It was supposed to be `\&` -- a backslash followed by an ampersand. I don't see how that (or any of code in your OP) would give you that error message though.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks.. I have just noticed the typo and it works fine now.	[reply]
