Wouldn't argue it too hard, but that one has a bit more leaning-toothpick-itis and the two separate s///'s are a bit more explicit in what's being done. But yes, mea culpa on the slightly evil use of postfix for to get `$_` set though. :) The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply] [d/l]
