`require()` stores an entry in the `%INC` hash to prevent reading the same file twice. However, you can override that by using `do()` instead, or by removing the entry from `%INC`. `delete $INC{"commands.cgi"}; require "commands.cgi"; # or do "commands.cgi";` [download] _____________________________________________________ Jeff`[japhy]`Pinyan: Perl, regex, and perl hacker, who'd like a job (NYC-area) `s++=END;++y(;-P)}y js++=;shajsj<++y(p-q)}?print:??;`	[reply] [d/l]
