[sorry for the week delay on this...] In my case, the perl script I posted was written long before many other things existed. I believe it was written back in the perl4 era. Why do I still use it? Because it's wedged into my muscle memory and nothing else has shown me I need to move away from it to something better (unlike many other instances where I have moved to something better, such as bash, python, and emacs [/me ducks and runs for cover]) -- Wes Hardaker My Pictures: http://capturedonearth.com/ My Thoughts: http://pontifications.hardakers.net/ _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
