There are usually man pages or other documentation included with the modules. [J.A. Terranson] I know. What I meant by "clean" was a way to determine what these packages enabled *without* manually digging up each manpage. I guess I'm either off to nroff heaven (or maybe I'll break down and by the Perl Resource Kit from O'Reilley)... Thanks, J.A.
