So, if the program takes 10 seconds to run as a 'perl + script', and it takes 5 seconds if it's a 'dumped' program, does the dumped program run faster? Geeze Terry, even after people give you actual *facts* which point out that you're wrong you'll continue to argue the point using useless semantics. I refuse to continue this useless conversation in public. I've already proven you wrong, yet you'll continue to argue the point until you can be right about *something*. Nate
