1) Thank you for not downvoting it further... :-). A ++ for that. 2) To the question: Everybody will answer: It wasn't perl doing it to you. It was this bad SQL. ;-) 3) One lesson is also: Don't do copy&paste without understanding what you're copying from elsewhere. 4) Another lesson: Formulate your wishes precisely: My solution does what was requested. The word only was missing in the initial question. Now, I'll see how much penance I have to do for my sarcastic sin... :-) Regards McA	[reply]
