    Version 5.005 and Sun Solaris. Two of my variables are a little platform dependent, try putting this at the top of the script and see if it works:
    $a="1 1"; $b="1 1"; *(=*a; *)=*b;
    Also, it depends on your version of Perl and the documentation. If it still doesn't work, I'll see what I can do.
