Thanks. Speed is of the essence on this service, will using "eval" put any sort of time overhead on the function? Colin

Inappropriately named `eval BLOCK` is very different from `eval EXPR`. `eval EXPR` invokes the Perl parser to parse and execute EXPR. This should be avoided whenever possible. `eval BLOCK`, the function used in the parent, is the benign construct known as `try` in other languages. See `eval`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
