I'm talking about entering large numbers in the code. If I have a constant, e.g. $num = '123456789'; it would be nice to enter it as: $num = '123_456_789'; just to make it easier to read. As I mentioned, you can do that in Perl. The underscore takes the place of commas only for readability. It's not a deal breaker, but it sure would be nice! :) Jenni Superior Shelving Systems::::....
