Why make this into an argument about the stupidity of people who don't know the compiler internals? Is "knowing how to use Deparse, and how to follow its output for large programs" going to be the new minimum bar for acceptable knowledge of Perl? That seems unreasonable. The suggestions to make the message non-specific as to the operator involved would make things clearer to the user, and not break anything. What's wrong with that? -- Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
