thanks a lot, MEM
The first basics: If something strange has gone wrong with your program and you're not sure where you should look for help, try the -w switch first. It will often point out exactly where the trouble is. -w for warnings I am an experienced perl programmer, but I have switched to C++. I've never used the debugger. Normally no interpreted language needs a debugger. Only compiled and linked does. Hovewer, post your problem. I wanna see some good perl code. ;-) best regards Morten Gulbrandsen
