When you see ($foo, $bar), you know two or more items are a list. What is a list? Two or more items. What do you have there? Two or more items. Rather simple and intuitive to me. *shrug* The way you learn to problem shouldn't be looking something up to find out what it does, but rather learning what everything does, then applying it by doing the programming afterwards. This sort of backwards thinking is what causes problems in the first place. :\ -- -Ryan :: ICQ - 595003 :: GigaBoard - http://www.gigaboard.net/
