Ah! That's exactly what I wanted.
I was ignorant of the difference between \&get_body and get_body().
I did previously have a look for the exact meaning of \&, but:
- my camel index lists many different combinations of punctuation
characters in the index but \& isn't one of them
- googling for: function or \& at site:www.perldoc.com isn't helpful
- I havn't got my head around perldoc well enough to know where to look.
Thanks
