    Let me check. Nothing. It just comes right back to the command prompt. This happens as it is as well as if I comment out the last 1;
      And if you step through it in the debugger?
      perl -dw Ablation.pm
      throop
        Aha! The program just terminates. Thanks! The only other time I've seen that behavior is when my line breaks were wrong. I don't know how I did it, but I had carriage returns instead of line feeds. My editor doesn't display it any differently, so just staring at the code didn't help.

        I fixed that, and now I get lots of nice, totally understandable errors to attack.

        Thanks Again!
