True but irrelevant. If you're worried about the cost of "use UNIVERSAL;" the correct action is to cross it out, as UNIVERSAL.pm recommends: These subroutines should not be imported via "use UNIVERSAL qw(...)". If you want simple local access to them you can do *isa = \&UNIVERSAL::isa; to import isa into your package. Mike GuyThread Previous | Thread Next
