>Missing semicolon after the line: > >my ($num) = @_ > >so it should be > >my ($num) = @_; Hello Jon and Everyone! My, do I really feel foolish now. No sooner had I sent out my query than I happened acrossed the missed semicolon. I knew that it had to be something simple. Well, the script didn't run as-is anyway, but at least I found the problem. Thanks to everyone for all their help. cheers Tristan ___________________________ Tristan J.
