Not a complaint (go get your Ph.D, Matthias) but just an observation. Some of the scripts out there, including Sandra Silcot's libraries (1995), try to list %ENV in the normal fashion. So is this an aberration with later versions of MacPerl? I guess what I'm saying is that this really ought to be in a FAQ somewhere (I'd be happy to help write docs, esp. if it meant understanding Perl more). -- Neil Kandalgaonkar njk@odyssee.net http://www.odyssee.net/~njk/ ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
