Can I make "uc" work just like >"_uc"? uc() is a Perl built-in function to make a string upper-case. Why not rename your custom function with something more descriptive (i.e. unit_convert, unitConverter) and avoid a name collision? , I'll rename it to something else -- but I still want it to be called "_uc" in my code and maybe just "u" available to the user. Is this possible? - B
