The syntax description is the smaller part of the Perl man page. The description of the various functions is much fatter. (If you're going to argue that Perl doesn't have a syntax at all, i'll counter-argue that Tcl isn't a language at all, but rather an extensible interpreter, something like FORTH. :-)) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
