I'd just store the number of times it's been run in a .file in the home directory (/home/user/.myscript). If the file doesn't yet exist, then it's the first time the script has run. Otherwise read the number from the file, and increment it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
