perl command line option question
 

I'm trying to execute commands using the "-e" command line option on a perl module, however the commands in question are "next" and "sort" which appear to be a reserved word in perl, thereby causing problems. For example, when I execute:

perl -MXmms -e sort

I get:

sort is now a reserved word at -e line 1.

Or if I execute:

perl -MXmms -e next

I get:

Can't "next" outside a loop block at -e line 1.

I've tried putting single- and double-quotes around the commands, but to no avail. How can I get around this problem without actually changing the source code?

Thanks.

if those subs are in that module and that module and you can call it non object-oriented way than just do Xmms::sort, Xmms::next and so on.

Thanks mire! That did it.
