note stefan k Hi,<br> the last time I tracked a problem with POD for quite a while it was due to different line endings.

Please consider this "just another hint". :-) <div class="pmsig"> <div class="pmsig-5094"> <p> <table width="80%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><small>Regards...</small></td> <td align="right"><small> <a href="http://www.skamphausen.de">Stefan</a> </small></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"> <small>you begin bashing the string with a +42 regexp of confusion</small> </td> </tr> </table> </div></div> 355042 355042
