http://search.cpan.org/ is on my shortcut bar, or whatever it's called. Whenever I wonder whether a module exists for a particular operation I try there if I think I have good search terms. Entering "File Copy" in the box there gives File::Copy as the second hit without even bothering to change the search domain from "All" to "Modules" (which I frequently do). On average, I think I try this step for finding modules before going to Google and typing "Perl module <search terms>". -- Peter Scott http://www.perldebugged.com/ *** NEW *** http://www.perlmedic.com/
