you are a wonderful human being.
As for the example code, I'd be willing to share the probably 40 lines
of code that I have approximately 7 hours developing and if I wasn't so
tired, I would do the math and get really depressed.
I can't even blame this on my lack of knowledge of perl because my lack
of knowledge on the details of shell scripting had me beating my head
against the wall first.
A perl class for idiots would be a wonderful thing
;-)
Thanks - and bless you
Craig
