Is there any good way to go? do you really want to look into perl's guts? it ain't pretty. there isn't any particular way to go. there are some docs about the design and if you need to understand stuff they will help. and there is plenty on how to interface with the guts to add c code and such to your programs. but for just browsing and searching the code, you are on your own. and this is even close to a beginners question! :) uri -- Uri Guttman ------ uri@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com ---------Thread Previous
