Hi Rory,
I'm a newbie, but here's something from the llama book (Learning
Perl, 3rd Ed.) p. 286:
"If you need the current timestamp number from the system clock, just
use the 'time' function."
And,from appendix B, there's a Time::Local module that you can use.
Chomp is the command you want for stripping newlines.
my $text = <STDIN>;
my $nolines = chomp $text;
I'd say it would be good for you to pick up a copy of the llama book, too.
But now, I'm in over my head, and I'll go back to lurk mode.
Best Regards,
John Haffner
