Derhaag) Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.106) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Date: 20 Apr 2001 14:36:32 -0700 Message-ID: Lines: 17 X-Mailer: Gnus v5.7/Emacs 20.7 X-Spam-Rating: h31.sny.collab.net 1.6.2 0/1000/N I upgraded to v5.6.1 of perl and viewed the documentation for the Getopt::Std as I wasn't familiar with its use for command line arguments on a new install function I was building. The docs indicate use of our( $opt_foo, $opt_bar ) should 'use strict vars' be in use. I wasn't familiar with this deprecated version of global variable definitions but I used it.. much to my chagrin when the install was actually performed on a perl v5.05003 equipped machine. How did an older version of Getopt::Std get installed with a later version of perl? -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Alan E.
