Can you give an example of real-world, correct code which causes a "benign" warning about something being interpreted as a function? As far as I can see, if you get that warning, there's something you should be attentive to. But maybe your dictionary defines "benign" differently than mine. :-) -- Tom Phoenix Perl Training and Hacking Esperanto Randal Schwartz Case: http://www.rahul.net/jeffrey/ovs/
