a thousand thanks, Wing. I've just spent hours looking in books and the perl help files for this information, (why doesn't anyone mention it?? is this obvious to unix users (I'm using windows)??.
I'd love to see another article on common problems encountered by windows users trying to learn perl!! thanks again.
