I thought I had not put it quite right when I wrote '"least surprise for Perlists" is a good idea', but I thought from the context of my earlier message this would be clear. I would have written it to rewind the DATA stream to the start of DATA, not the start of the file, but I see the merit of making it behave like Perl, and of course if Perl changes then the case for current behaviour is weakened. But I'm less inclined to shout for change than I was originally. Hugh hgs@dmu.ac.uk
