My first thought is "Get over it! Use an array." This seriously is the idiomatic way of doing what you want to do. Barring that, take a look at IO::File and open a handle to STDIN that way. I would avoid using glob references, just cause their behavior may or may not be fully intuitive. Objects behave the same way in all instances. (Barring when they don't, of course! grins) ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age. Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.	[reply]
