Abstract
A three-parameter family of solutions for perfect fluid cylinders is used as interior to the vacuum Levi-Civita metric for an infinite line mass. Matching is possible for 0<or= sigma <1/2, where sigma is the mass per unit proper length. This extends the range of sigma previously believed possible for an infinite line mass.Keywords
