I think I've found a problem with the droplet glue. I suspect that it's really a feature <grin>, but it's causing a bit of a hassle for me. I've saved this code as a droplet. When something's dropped onto it, all the text is displayed on one line. If I just double click on it, everything's displayed, but then (of course) it doesn't work as a droplet. #!/usr/bin/perl print "What ip? "; chomp ($ip = <>); print "What date (month/day/year)? "; chomp ($date = <>); print "What time? "; chomp ($time = <>); It's entirely possible (in fact, I think it's more than likely) that I'm just doing something dumb. I did already try select(STDOUT); $|=1;, to no avail. - Strider "Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph.
