note remiah <p> Hello<br><br> I found Data::Dumper::Names with [http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=701033|this thread] . In this manual of Data::Dumper::Names, there is "Unknown Variables" section. </p> <p> "Unknown Variables" section seems to me having some relation with your case... not printing name "$x". </p> <b>update:</b><br> Sorry if I am looking into wrong direction. 991185 991193
