Should be possible. Perl 5 has some syntax extensions, e.g. an unquoted @ within a "" string is now expanded; fixed scripts (that do not use the extensions, but take care of them) should be backwards compatible to Perl 4 however. I've been told that the perl 5 compiler gives a detailed error message. I don't have perl 5 by now, so please don't ask me... (yet). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
