hi VERSION: "Pod::Perldoc v3.14_02" , "This is perl, v5.10.0 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi" > perldoc -f y y/// The transliteration operator. Same as "tr///". See perlop. POD ERRORS Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below: Around line 7: =back doesn’t take any parameters, but you said =back =back I can't tell if it's a parsing or document error. Maybe there will be a further discussion in http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=797001 Cheers Rolf
