\_ SMTP quoth Victor Odhner on 11/20/2001 13:37 as having spake thusly: \_ \_ I don't have time to test my thinking at this moment, but this \_ may be the problem. \_ \_ It looks to me like the message may be issued when "use Bar" \_ is processed, which is before the "use Fcntl" has taken \_ effect. \_ \_ If you ever have a perl question, phone me. Egads, I'm tempted: "Why doesn't my script work?" :-) David
