OK, you've got single-quotes here again. You'll need those or $Revision becomes a variable to perl. I do: $version = '# $Revision: 1.2 $'; Don't know if the # also helps. After that, I use a REGEX to strip the value of $version down to just the number. Your REGEX is simpler than mine, so I won't post mine ;-). BTW, you said Makefile.pl is the same with before and after going in cvs, right? How about your perl module, itself? It would seem one of them must have changed. ciao, der.hans -- # [EMAIL PROTECTED] home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # I'm not anti-social, I'm pro-individual. - der.hans
