Is there any way to do something like $blah % 2 ($blah mod 2) ? I couldn't
find anything in TFM.
Tanks.

Yeah, try $blah % 2. :-) $ perl -e '$blah = 15; print $blah % 2;' 1 It isn't really in the manpage. Basically, Perl expressions are defined in terms of C expressions, and since % is not in the category of "what C has that Perl doesn't"... Perl has it. It's clearer in The Book (I know... that doesn't help just yet). print "Just another Perl [book] hacker," -- /=Randal L.
