Message-ID: Date: 12 Feb 91 22:21:29 GMT Sender: news@exodus.Eng.Sun.COM Organization: Sun Microsystems -- Mountain View Lines: 22 FRONTSTUFF p 183 of the perl book: I don't understand why it is necessary to prepend the value 'FRONTSTUFF' to the list defining the %head associative array. I have not yet read the book cover to cover, so I surely miss something. Felicitation to the authors for the quality of their work. I like their style which contrasts very much with the boring and impersonal style of most of the technical litterature (even if I need to open more often my English dictionnary.) thanks -- Stephane Payrard -- stef@eng.sun.com -- (415) 336 3726 SMI 2550 Garcia Avenue M/S 10-09 Mountain View CA 94043
