Thank you, Ken! I'm glad to hear it, because I've basically got it working
well enough now to be able to see the point -- still off in the distance a
little ways -- when I *will* want to upload it. I've made faster progress
than I had thought possible. There are still some amazing ugly warts to the
thing and may always be ;-)
Anyway I concur with your reasoning and appreciate your broad-mindedness.
Sometimes people get a bit "territorial" about a problem-domain they've
been working in; but this is Perl, and TMTOWTDI! -- and you've really got
the spirit.
Best Regards,
Soren A
