I am by every definition a beginner in this perl language thing :) Reading Learning Perl now to understand how to leverage this treed hash that Kstat has. But I confess.... The modules directory is local but mirrored to every system using Tivoli. My Master needs to have source for NT, Solaris, Linux and OSF. I already know that my destination host is of type Solaris but It would take a little more work to figure out rev so I just push Solaris Modules. Until now there hasn't been a need to split them up.
