Actually as I understand it, WEBLOG is just the current input source when the error occurs - the uninitialized value is some other thing that occured when WEBLOG was on the chunk 827. This is to help you find the offending values in the input (often this is a result of one writing source where you expect some format in the data and use pattern matching - and when the data doesn't match, you get an uninitialized $1 or something like that). bye, Georg -- #!/usr/bin/perl -0777pi s/TS:.*?\0/$_=$&;y,a-z, ,;s, $,true,gm;s, 512,2048,;$_/es ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
