Good. Once it's in perl, it's a shame to take the technical step back to
shell. Mind you, I love shell ( I even wrote PHP using a shell script long
before I wrote PHP using Perl ), but for most non-trivial things Perl is
better.
I got reminded of this Fri when I spawned over 3 million sub-shells for a
quick and dirty script. Next time I'll use Perl for that task :).

That'll show you that it is indeed what you want.
You might want to add -n to the first echo.
