in the test part of an if statement is there a way to simplify... if ($value == $a or $value == $b or $value == $c or $value == $d or ...) ...into... if ($value == ($a or $b or $c or $d or...)) ...or something similar? I can't seem to find it in the Camel book. le meas, --Nick # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
