snipIt is returning 1 because it is in scalar context, @$ is undefined (making the regex /(.+)/), and there is at least one character in $test. With the proper quoting of @ the $ will in fact cause problems for the OP. Here is an interesting fact: the strict pragma will not catch @$ even though it is not a variable defined in perldoc perlvar and was not declared. This is why the strict pragma should always be paired with the warnings pragma (and vice versa). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
