note MZSanford </p>I know this is dirty, and incomplete. You can check <code>%INC</code> to see if less has been used (just not how). I do agree a good use for less would be something like a <code>@less::requested</code> var to let modules check what was requested less of. This would allow for a standard interface rather than an <code>qw(less_memory)</code> here and a <code>qw(lite)</code> there. Something a bit more standard, and a little less author's choice. Not that this comes up often, but when else do a half dozen line make such a diffrence ?</p> <p> Just my &euro;0.02 </p> <HR> <i>from the <A HREF="/index.pl?node=99288&lastnode_id=1072">frivolous</A> to the <A HREF="/index.pl?node=120770&lastnode_id=1072">serious</A></i> 245999 245999
